The 0.48% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Birmingham and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Alabama average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Birmingham buyers. Many Birmingham properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $50/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
