Alabama charges deed tax when the 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 vendor's lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid can reduce taxable value; the closing attorney confirms that amount. 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.

Often, yes, if you close before the foreclosure sale. A mortgage with a power of sale lets the lender foreclose without a court case. The sale notice generally must run once a week for three successive weeks in a newspaper in the county, or an adjoining county if none is published there. Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think. After the sale, certain people have a limited right to buy the house back, called redemption. For residential property with a homestead exemption claimed in the year of sale and a mortgage signed on or after January 1, 2016, the usual period is 180 days. Other property and older mortgages generally have a one-year period. For qualifying homestead property, missing required notice can change when the redemption period starts, but it cannot extend redemption beyond one year after foreclosure. Redeeming means paying the sale price, interest, and lawful charges, which can include improvements, taxes, and insurance. If the purchaser also owns the mortgage debt, the remaining debt and interest can be due too. A debtor or mortgagor still in possession must leave within 10 days after the purchaser’s written demand or risk losing redemption rights. Redemption is not extra time to stay in the house. Check the actual notice and deadline promptly.

Yes. Start with the notice or payoff information you have. A sale does not by itself settle mortgage or lien balances, back taxes, or a code notice; the title company and the office that issued a notice can confirm the property-specific records and amounts. The closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, or back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
