| MOTOR VEHICLE PROPERTY TAX How is Property tax collected on your vehicle? RENEWAL: Ad Valorem Tax or Property taxes are now collected in advance. Property taxes are based on the market value of the vehicle. PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE: Private individuals buying a new car or pick-up truck (under 8,000 pounds GVW) for personal use will have their taxes deferred until their next renewal month. When you renew your vehicle registration you will then pay taxes from the purchase date until renewal plus one year forward. PURCHASING A USED VEHICLE: Individuals purchasing a used vehicle, must obtain the most current tag receipt for that vehicle and bring it with you when you register the vehicle. Used vehicles are addressed on a case by case basis. If there are any back taxes due the new owner will be required to pay these taxes to get them current. CREDIT VOUCHER: An owner of a vehicle that has been sold, traded, stolen without recovery, totally destroyed or permanently removed from the State of Alabama may receive a credit voucher for the unused portion of the taxes before the renewal month. To apply for a credit voucher the owner must come in within 60 days of the disposal of his vehicle. The voucher must be used within 12 months from the date of issuance and only in the county that it was issued in. A voucher may be transferred to a spouse or child but cannot be sold or transferred to another person. There is a $2.00 fee for each voucher redeemed. ONLY ONE VOUCHER MAY BE USED ON A VEHICLE. A voucher cannot be redeemed for cash. We cannot duplicate a credit voucher if lost. If you are in disagreement with the value of your vehicle you may contact the Board of Equalization at (334) 347-8734.
