Find the right help
Incorporated Auburn is in Lee County, but a mailing city name or ZIP code alone does not establish whether a particular address is inside city limits or which parcel record applies. Search the address in the City of Auburn COA Map and compare it with the County’s property-tax map before choosing a city or county contact.
Useful offices
Property appraisal, unpaid property taxes, deed recording, and court matters are separate tasks. Use the contact that matches the record or notice, and confirm address-specific instructions with the office.
Lee County · assessed values, real-property appraisal, and parcel maps
Start here for an assessed-value or real-property appraisal question. The County’s parcel maps can help you locate the property. An assessment is not a sale-price estimate, and no value for a specific parcel is determined on this page.
Lee County · property-tax accounts, delinquent-tax notices, and tax sales
Use the County’s collections route for an unpaid property-tax balance, notice, or tax-sale question. Ask about the actual parcel or account; the links do not establish a particular balance, exemption, deadline, or sale status.
Lee County · recording and public access to permanent documents, primarily real-estate records
Use Recording for the County’s deed-recording route and recorded land-document questions. Recording is different from property appraisal, tax collections, or a court’s case docket; confirm current filing instructions with the County.
Lee County · probate and estate-court questions
For a probate or estate-court question, use the County’s Probate Court route. The County lists its courthouse at 215 South 9th Street in Opelika and an Auburn Satellite Office at 1266 Mall Parkway; confirm which location handles a particular question or filing.
Alabama rule to check
Alabama charges deed tax when a deed is recorded with the county probate judge. The rate is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. A mortgage or seller's lien may reduce taxable value if Alabama mortgage tax has been paid on it; ask the closing attorney to confirm whether that deduction applies and how much.
The deed must include proof of the actual price or value. Without proof, the probate office uses the latest tax assessment, and penalties can apply. Ask the closing attorney what price evidence and recording fees apply before the deed is recorded.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

Use the Lee County Revenue Commissioner’s real-property and appraisal contacts for assessed-value questions, and its Online Maps for parcel mapping. A county assessment is not a sale-price estimate. For an address-level city-boundary question, use the City of Auburn COA Map as well.
Use the Lee County Revenue Commissioner’s collections contact and delinquent-tax or tax-sale information. Ask about the actual parcel or account; the office links do not establish a balance or sale status for a particular property.
Lee County Probate Judge Recording is the route for recording and recorded land documents. Use Lee County Probate Court for probate or estate-court questions. For a civil judgment, start with the court and case number on the judgment or notice; a property-tax office and a land-record search do not decide the court case or its effect on a specific property.
Alabama deed tax is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. The closing attorney can confirm the taxable value and whether a qualifying mortgage-tax deduction applies. See the deed-tax section above for the closing-cost wording and the separate balances that remain the seller’s responsibility.
