Selling a house in Alabama: the rules that matter
Who runs the closing
Alabama closings are customarily handled by a closing attorney. Cash closings in two to three weeks are routine.
Seller taxes and fees
Alabama’s deed tax is $0.50 per $500 of the price (0.1%) — one of the lower transfer taxes in the country.
The foreclosure clock
Alabama is a non-judicial state — the lender publishes notice for three consecutive weeks and can then sell, so a foreclosure can move from notice to auction in about a month. Alabama also has a post-sale redemption right, which complicates things for everyone; selling before the sale is much cleaner.
