Alabama property tax appeal deadline 2027: 30 days from your Notice of Valuation. Madison County uses newspaper publication. Postmark deadline. Learn what to do before time runs out. TaxAppeal $89 flat.
Your 30-day clock starts from the mailing date printed on your Notice of Valuation — not the date you received it. If your notice was mailed on May 1, your deadline is May 31 regardless of when it arrived in your mailbox. Alabama uses a postmark deadline, meaning your appeal only needs to be postmarked by the deadline date — not physically received. Mail it early and ask the post office for a dated proof of mailing.
Madison County (Huntsville) does not mail individual notices. Instead, new values are published in a local newspaper, and the 30-day appeal window runs from the date of the second newspaper advertisement. Madison County homeowners must actively monitor local newspapers each spring — typically March or April — to catch the publication date.
If the 30-day window closes without a filed appeal, your Notice of Valuation becomes final for the current tax year. Options are very limited — contact your county assessor to ask about any administrative correction procedures for data errors. Your next opportunity is the following year's assessment cycle. Set an April 1 reminder each year to watch for your Notice of Valuation.
We check first. If an appeal will lower your bill, we mail you a ready-to-sign kit for $89 flat. You sign it and mail it, and you keep 100% of your savings.
TaxAppeal USA is a self-service document-preparation service. We prepare a ready-to-sign appeal kit and mail it to you; you sign it and mail it to the county yourself. In every state we serve, including Florida, we are not property tax consultants, agents, or representatives, we do not provide tax or legal advice, and we do not file appeals or represent customers before any appraisal district, board of assessors, board of equalization, value adjustment board, or review board. Every appeal, protest and petition is prepared for the property owner, signed by the owner, and mailed by the owner in the owner’s name. In Florida your petition is signed by you as the property owner under section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes, and the county’s Value Adjustment Board filing fee is paid by you directly to the county. TaxAppeal USA does not sign as your representative, does not appear before the Board, and does not present evidence or argument at a hearing.
