General information from public statutes and agency guidance, reviewed regularly, not legal advice. Rules change and counties differ; confirm with a local real-estate attorney or title company.
What the Alabama rules mean for your lists
Alabama sells the unpaid tax, not the house, so a tax-delinquent owner usually keeps the property through the redemption period. That makes the delinquent list a long-running list: owners stay reachable for months or years, and the earlier you write, the more choices they still have.
Most mortgage foreclosures in Alabama happen outside the courts and can move from notice to sale within a few months, so the first weeks after a notice matter most. Check the sale date before you write and be clear and respectful.
Alabama does not impose one statewide disclosure form on every seller, but hiding known defects is never allowed; when you resell, describe the property honestly in writing.
