Start here
Use the Revenue Commissioner for county property-tax assessment, collection, and tax records; the Probate Office for probate and deed-recording contact routes; and Florence’s Building Department for permits, inspections, and code questions. A deed, tax bill, and court judgment are different records, so start with the office that handles the document you have.
Florence is in Lauderdale County, but a mailing address alone does not show whether a property is inside the City boundary or which City office serves it. Use the exact address when you call. For local selling options, see the situation pages below, or call 888-274-5006. You can also send the address and ask for a cash offer.
Local records and offices
Bring the property address and the tax bill, deed, notice, or other record when you call. These offices provide contact routes; ask them to confirm the process for your specific property or filing.
Lauderdale County · property-tax assessment, collection, and tax records
Use the Revenue Commissioner for assessed-value and property-tax record questions, including an unpaid county property-tax bill or collection question. Assessment and tax records are not a market appraisal or a cash offer for a particular house.
P.O. Box 794, Florence, AL 35631 · (256) 760-5785.
Lauderdale County · probate-court contact and estate filings
For a probate or estate filing question, contact the Probate Court and confirm which County office handles the specific filing. The office is a contact route, not a decision about who may sign for a particular estate.
200 South Court Street, Florence, AL 35630 · Probate Court: (256) 760-5804.
Lauderdale County · deed recording and document intake
Use the Recording Department for deed-recording instructions and document intake. A court judgment is a separate court-record question, not a property-tax assessment or deed-recording task; use the court and case details on the notice, and confirm the right County office if a filing route is unclear.
200 South Court Street, Florence, AL 35630 · Recording Department: (256) 760-5800. Call to confirm the current procedure and charges; the posted recording-cost schedule is dated.
City of Florence · permits, inspections, and property-maintenance or code questions
Contact the Building Department about permits, inspections, and property-maintenance or code questions. Permit jurisdiction and inspection requirements depend on the property location and project, so give the City the exact address and ask about that work.
110 West College Street, Suite 216, Florence, AL 35630 · (256) 760-6325.
Florence · planning, mapping, and historic-district orientation
Use Planning and Community Development for planning and map questions, including where to begin checking a historic-district layer. A map is an orientation step; ask the City about the exact property rather than treating a map label as a parcel determination.

An Alabama sale-cost rule
Alabama charges deed tax when the 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 can reduce taxable value when Alabama mortgage tax has been paid on it; ask the closing attorney to confirm whether that applies to your sale.
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. Deed tax and recording fees must be paid before recording; some deeds are exempt, including certain nominal-price deeds that only correct title. 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.
Before signing, ask the closing attorney to confirm the taxable value, any applicable deduction or exemption, and the amount due for your deed.
