The Walker County Revenue Commission Office has established a website to better serve the public needs with information compiled by our office. Walker County maps and data became available for viewing on-line February 2007 and the public response seems encouraging.

 

This office, in conjunction with the Walker County Commission is committed to work together to provide a more convenient way of doing business with us on-line. We encourage you to let us know of any additional services that you want to see made available on-line. It is our pleasure to serve you.

 

Our website is designed with you in mind. We strive to provide you with accurate and up-to-date information that will be beneficial to you.

 

Thank you for your visit!

Jerry Guthrie, Revenue Commissioner

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

  • Do you offer credit card or on-line tax payments? NO. Sorry, this service is not yet available.
  • If I am age 65 do I still have to pay taxes? You may qualify for a full or partial exemption depending on factors other than your age or disability. Call the tax assessor’s office for details at (205) 384-7265.
  • When do taxes become due? Property taxes in the State of Alabama become due annually on October 1st each year.
  • When do taxes become delinquent? January 1st each year.
  • Is there a late fee and interest on delinquent taxes? YES, a $5.00 penalty with 12% simple interest starts after December 31st each year.
  • At what point do you stop taking personal checks for taxes? After February 15th each year certified mail goes out for delinquent property taxes, the penalty increases and you must then pay with cash, certified check or money order.
  • Will my name appear in the local newspaper if I don’t pay my taxes on time? YES, names are published three times in the Daily Mountain Eagle approximately 30 days prior to tax sale. The names published may be your name since taxes are paid in arrears, or could even be the name of the person you recently purchased your property from since he/she was the actual owner when the taxes became due.
  • Who is responsible for paying the taxes on a fairly recent sale? That is between buyer and seller to work out at time of sale. Taxes are assessed in arrears and the complimentary tax notice will be mailed.
  • At what point will my property be “sold” for taxes? A public tax auction is held every year, usually the first Monday in May starting @ 10:00 A.M. everything that hasn’t been paid prior will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
  • Can I pay my taxes after the tax sale? YES, but the fees and interest are much higher than they were in October prior to tax sale. There is a limited time property can be redeemed, call the collectors office for details to “redeem.”
