Welcome. This video is part of my series where I explain the methods and procedure for Tax Sales in each state. In this post, I will discuss Alabama Tax Sales.
Alabama Tax Sales Explained
Alabama has a total of 67 counties and is a lien state. They have an interest rate of 12%, a three-year redemption, and typically run their auctions with the Premium Bid style of auction. It’s important to note that in Alabama the premium also receives 12%.
It’s important to note that the accrual rate is monthly, in the sales start in May of each year.
Also, Alabama allows over-the-counter purchase of liens that did not sell at the auction.
On a scale of 1 to 5, I rate Alabama a 3. They have a longer redemption period, which can add up to big bucks and as one of the more rural states, they have less competition from the institutional bidders.

Tax Sales investing is a niche that has the potential to be insanely profitable.
However, most investors do not have a deep understanding of this investing strategy.
Every state has a unique set of rules and regulations. There are some basic rules you need to understand as to how the process works. Generally, states will fall into one of three categories:
- Tax Lien States
- Tax Deed States
- Hybrid States
Hybrids are states who conduct their tax sales by selling tax deeds with a caveat. The deeds have a redemption period much like a tax lien certificate.
