Property Taxes:

 

Alabama property taxes are among the lowest in the United States. Taxes are calculated using your property's assessed value. This is determined by multiplying the appraised value by the corresponding property classification, which is also known as the assessment rate. Non - exempt business property is assessed at 20%.

​

Once the assessed value of your property has been determined, multiply it by the appropriate millage rate for the area in which your project will be located. Millage rates are determined by the county commissions and other taxing agencies.

• A mill is one-tenth of one cent. (.001)

• 1 mill=$0.001

• Assessed Value X Millage Rate=Un-adjusted Tax Bill
