About Property Taxes in Autauga County, Alabama
Autauga's taxes are far below national norms
Autauga County homeowners pay an effective tax rate of 0.285%, less than one-third the national median property tax burden. With a median home value of $197,900, this county ranks in the lowest quartile nationally for tax burden, meaning most American homeowners pay significantly more.
Among Alabama's most affordable for taxes
Autauga's 0.285% effective rate sits well below Alabama's state average of 0.339%, placing it in the lower half of the state's 67 counties. The county's median tax of $564 is higher than the state median of $511, but that's because home values here are substantially stronger than statewide.
Favorable compared to nearby counties
Autauga's rate of 0.285% is competitive with neighboring Elmore and Tallapoosa counties, though slightly higher than Bibb County's notably low 0.204% rate. The county's $197,900 median home value positions it as a moderate-value area in the central Alabama region.
Expect roughly $564 annually on median home
A homeowner with a $197,900 property in Autauga pays approximately $564 per year in property taxes. Mortgage-paying residents typically see this amount folded into escrow at about $615 annually, while those owning free-and-clear pay roughly $475.
Many Autauga homeowners are overassessed
If your assessed value seems high or your home hasn't appreciated as much as the county claims, you have the right to appeal. Consider requesting a reassessment—many Alabama homeowners successfully reduce their tax burden by challenging inflated valuations.
Tax Rate Details
Understanding Millage Rates in Autauga County
In Alabama, property taxes are expressed as a millage rate (also called a mill rate). One mill equals $1 of tax for every $1,000 of assessed property value. Your total property tax bill is determined by adding together the millage rates set by the county, city or municipality, school district, and any special districts.
In Alabama, residential property is assessed at 10% of appraised market value. This means a home appraised at $200,000 has an assessed value of $20,000, and the millage rate is applied to that assessed value — resulting in some of the lowest effective property tax bills in the nation.
Autauga County has an effective property tax rate of 0.28%, resulting in a median annual tax bill of $564. Use the calculator above to estimate your property tax based on Autauga County's current rate, or contact the Autauga County tax assessor's office for the exact millage rate breakdown for your property.
