How foreclosure and tax sales work in Alabama
General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.
Alabama mostly uses nonjudicial foreclosure under a power of sale in the deed of trust or mortgage, and the property is sold by the lender or an auctioneer at the county courthouse.
Alabama is generally a tax lien state: the county revenue commissioner or tax collector sells liens or certificates on unpaid property taxes, and the buyer earns interest or penalties until the owner pays.
