About Property Taxes in Bullock County, Alabama
Bullock's highest rate yields modest dollars
Bullock County has the highest effective tax rate in this group at 0.389%, yet residents pay just $309 annually on a $79,400 median home. This illustrates how low property values amplify the rate-burden disconnect: the rate is steep, but the actual dollars remain far below the national median of $2,690.
Alabama's highest property tax rate
Bullock County's 0.389% effective rate is the highest among Alabama's 67 counties, significantly exceeding the state average of 0.339%. Despite this elevated rate, the county's $309 median tax remains below the state median of $511 due to exceptionally low home values.
Steepest rate in rural east-central Alabama
Bullock's 0.389% rate far exceeds neighboring Barbour County's 0.378% and is well above the regional average. The county's $79,400 median home value represents the lowest in this group, reflecting the rural agricultural character of the area.
Budget around $309 on Bullock's median home
A homeowner with Bullock's $79,400 median-value property pays approximately $309 annually in property taxes. Those paying via mortgage see roughly $417 in annual escrow, while debt-free homeowners pay about $204.
Higher rates make appeals especially worthwhile
With Alabama's highest property tax rate, Bullock homeowners should prioritize assessment reviews—even small reductions yield meaningful savings. If your property's assessed value hasn't been updated to reflect the rural market's reality, an appeal could substantially lower your tax burden.
Tax Rate Details
Understanding Millage Rates in Bullock 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.
Bullock County has an effective property tax rate of 0.39%, resulting in a median annual tax bill of $309. Use the calculator above to estimate your property tax based on Bullock County's current rate, or contact the Bullock County tax assessor's office for the exact millage rate breakdown for your property.
