Attention Tuscaloosa County Taxpayers:

2025 valuation notices for real property and business personal property are being mailed today, May 16, 2025. The deadline to protest to the Board of Equalization is June 16th, 2025.

The values provided on the notices are current estimates. If we find any error on a parcel, the value is subject to change. If in doubt, protest. Please remember that you are protesting value, not taxes.

Even though alot of good things have been happening in the Tax Assessor’s office, it has been a little while since we have made a post.

Today is worth sharing. We had a customer bring in a key lime cake for Melinda M. For being so helpful. The kind taxpayer had recently lost her husband and was nervous about doing any paperwork. Melinda got her taken care of and because today would have been the taxpayer and her husband’s 65th anniversary, she wanted us to celebrate.

The tax office doesn’t have to be a scary place. We are here to help. If you have any questions, please contact our office at 205-464-8240.
