Property valuation, unpaid taxes, recorded deeds, and court judgments are different tasks. The County Assessor, Tax Collector, and Records and Recording office have separate contacts; use the court or case contact shown on a judgment or docket. A City question also depends on whether the property is inside Tuscaloosa city limits, so confirm the address with the City.
Useful offices
Published contacts are routing information, not a guarantee of walk-in availability or an answer about a specific parcel. Have the property address and the notice or record in front of you when you contact an office.
Tuscaloosa County · assessment, appraisal, and mapping
Ask the Assessor about an assessed value, appraisal, parcel map, or property-mapping record. This is separate from tax-bill payment and deed recording.
714 Greensboro Avenue, Room 108, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401 · 205-464-8240.
Tuscaloosa County · property-tax collection and payment
Contact the Tax Collector about property-tax payments and collection questions. The County also publishes tax-lien-sale information; use the current County information for a specific notice or parcel.
714 Greensboro Avenue, Room 124, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401 · 205-464-8230.
Tuscaloosa County · real-property records and recording
Use Records and Recording for deed and other real-property record or recording questions. A recorded land document is not the same thing as a court case or judgment.
714 Greensboro Avenue, Room 137, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401 · 205-464-8206.
Tuscaloosa County · probate and estate-case routing
For an estate or probate case, start with the Probate Court’s published court information. Its probate-case route and the County’s separate land-record recording contact handle different questions.
714 Greensboro Avenue, Room 121, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401 · 205-464-8204.
City of Tuscaloosa · city planning and zoning information
For a property inside City limits, use the City’s planning and zoning information for zoning-map and planning questions. Check a parcel-specific question with the City; a neighborhood name alone does not establish its jurisdiction.
2230 7th Street · 205-248-5100.
City of Tuscaloosa · permit guidance and inspection requests
Use these City pages for permit guidance or to request an inspection or Certificate of Occupancy. They do not establish a blanket inspection or certificate requirement for every home sale.
City of Tuscaloosa · city service requests and problem reports
Use Tuscaloosa 311 to make a City service request or report a problem. This route does not determine whether a particular property has an open notice or order.
Dial 311 within City limits or call 205-248-5311.
Alabama deed tax
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. With no applicable mortgage-tax deduction, a $100,000 sale owes $100 and a $100,200 sale owes $100.50.
The taxable value can be reduced by a mortgage or vendor’s lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid; the closing attorney confirms the amount. 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. The tax and recording fees must be paid before recording. Some deeds are exempt, including certain nominal-price deeds that only correct title. Ask the closing attorney to confirm the taxable value, any deduction, and whether an exemption applies.
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.
