Helpful Alabama rule

Alabama deed tax: what to check before recording

Alabama charges deed tax when a deed is recorded with the county probate judge: 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. A mortgage or vendor's lien may reduce taxable value only if Alabama mortgage tax has been paid on it; the closing attorney confirms the amount.

The deed needs proof of the actual price or value. Without proof, the probate office uses the latest tax assessment and penalties can apply. The tax and recording fees must be paid before recording. Some deeds are exempt, including certain nominal-price deeds that only correct title.

Next, give the closing attorney the actual sale price or value and any lien information. Ask which proof, taxable amount, and recording fees apply to this deed, and confirm the recording route with the Probate Office for the property's county.

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.

Dothan and Houston County resource questions

Which office can check a property assessment or county property-tax question?

Use the Revenue Commissioner route for the county where the property is located. The Alabama Department of Revenue directory lists county assessment and property-tax contacts. Dothan city-place geography touches Dale, Geneva, Henry, and Houston counties, so use the exact property address rather than assuming the county from the city name.

Who handles deed recording and Alabama deed tax?

A deed is recorded with the county probate judge. The Henry and Houston County Probate Office links above provide those county routes. Ask the closing attorney and the correct Probate Office about the specific deed, required proof of value, taxable amount, and recording fees.

Does the assessment or probate office handle court judgments too?

No. Assessed value and property-tax questions go to the county Revenue Commissioner; probate and deed-recording questions go to the county Probate Office. A court judgment is a separate court-record question. Use the court named on the notice or ask the title or closing professional to identify the record tied to the property.

How is Alabama deed tax figured?

A mortgage or vendor’s lien may reduce taxable value only when Alabama mortgage tax has been paid on it; the closing attorney confirms the amount. The deed needs proof of the actual price or value. Without proof, the probate office uses the latest tax assessment and penalties can apply. Some deeds are exempt.
