Tax maps and property ownership mapping

The DeKalb County Revenue Commissioner’s Office mapping department creates and updates property ownership maps as part of real property appraisal. These maps show the location, size, and ownership of tax parcels according to Alabama Department of Revenue specifications.

Mapping updates use recorded documents such as deeds, subdivision plats, and wills. Property assessments and surveys also help update parcel records.

Important: tax maps are for tax purposes only and should never be used for conveyance.

Assessment and appraisal record context

Property search results connect to assessment and appraisal records handled through the Revenue Commissioner. Alabama law requires each taxpayer to provide a complete list of property owned, and a person acquiring property is responsible for reporting a complete legal description to the Revenue Commissioner.

Property owners should keep the correct mailing address on file and report ownership changes to the Revenue Commissioner. Assessments and bills are based on ownership and status as of October 1 each year.

The Appraisal Department establishes current market value for real estate in DeKalb County under Alabama Department of Revenue appraisal standards. Property record cards describe each parcel, with land and improvement characteristics listed and valued separately.
