Alabama Homestead Property Tax Exemption

Alabama Department of Revenue / Jefferson County Revenue

Open Property Tax Relief

About This Program

Alabama offers multiple homestead property tax exemptions for owner-occupants. Exemption III fully exempts homeowners age 65+ with combined taxable income of $12,000 or less. Exemption IV exempts the state portion of property taxes for all homeowners 65+. A 2022 constitutional amendment provides a special senior exemption in Jefferson County eliminating the state's property tax portion for homeowners 65+ with no income test.

Savings depend on assessed value and tax rate; full state-portion exemption possible.
