Alabama Sales Tax Rates by City and County

Alabama's state sales tax is 4%, and counties and cities add their own, so the total depends on the city and county. This page lists 470 cities and towns with the combined rate where the Department of Revenue's file settles it, and every county tax in the file, from the Alabama Department of Revenue's local rates file (October 2026 edition).

Alabama sales tax rates by city, 2026

Alphabetical. "City tax" and "County tax" are the local rates the file lists; "Combined" adds the 4% state rate, and "Grocery" adds the 2% state food rate and the local food rates. A city in two counties has a row for each. A dash means the file does not settle that figure, and the note says why.

Rates are for general sales; the file also lists separate rates for automotive, farm, manufacturing machinery, vending and amusement sales, and for lodgings and rentals, which this page leaves out. 36 cities cross a county line.

Alabama county sales tax rates

Every county locality in the file that levies a sales tax. Many counties have more than one: the department lists a separate county rate for sales inside certain cities' corporate limits (CL), for their police jurisdictions (PJ) and for the rest of the county. A locality's name is the department's own.

How Alabama's tax layers stack

The state charges 4% on general sales and 2% on food. The Department of Revenue's file holds only the local taxes, so a total is the state rate plus the county's rate plus the city's rate. The file ties each city to its county or counties through a county locality code on the city's rows, which the department describes as "a cross reference in determining the associated county tax rates applicable to a municipality."

A county often has a different rate inside a city's limits than outside them, and a separate one in a city's police jurisdiction. Where the department's names for a city's county localities say which one applies inside the limits, this page uses it (for Mobile, the locality for the corporate limits of Mobile and Prichard, not Mobile County's own rate). Where they do not, for example in Madison County, where two county taxes are each "in addition to" the other, the city has no combined rate and the note lists the county localities and their rates. 24 of the 508 city and county parts are in that position.

189 cities also tax sales in a police jurisdiction just outside their limits. The file gives each such city's own rate there; the county rate in a police jurisdiction is a separate county locality, so no combined rate is shown for those areas.

Self-administered cities and counties

71 of the 470 cities are marked SELF in the file: they administer their own sales tax instead of the state or a collection contractor, and that includes Birmingham, Montgomery, Huntsville, Mobile and Tuscaloosa. The department's file covers both state-administered and nonstate-administered local taxes, but a locality that collects its own tax can change a rate or add a tax between the department's monthly updates. For a rate that matters to a filing, confirm it with the city or county.

The file also lists 31 city localities whose names start with "Unabated"; they are not a place's ordinary rate and are not used here.

How often these rates change

The Department of Revenue updates the local rates file monthly, and this page is regenerated from it monthly. It is the October 2026 edition, read on 2026-10-19. The file is organised by taxing locality, not street address, so for a single address, work out which city limits or police jurisdiction it sits in from the city and the department's explanations of each locality.

For one amount, the sales tax calculator works out the tax, and the sales tax rate by ZIP code page links the other states' rate tables.
