You can also review the county’s current year real and personal property tax information page for the official entry point and related guidance.

Pay Madison County property taxes

Madison County property taxes may be paid online, in person, or by mail. The Tax Collector accepts cash, cashier’s check, credit card, debit card, E-check, and personal check, with restrictions during April and May.

Use the county’s property tax payment page to begin an online payment. The Tax Collector states that card payments include a 2.75% convenience fee plus a $0.30 transaction fee. E-check payments include a $1.50 fee and take 4 to 5 business days to clear.

For in-person payments, the Tax Collector lists the Madison County Service Center Tax Collector Office at 1918 Memorial Parkway, NW, Huntsville, AL 35801 and the Madison Satellite Office at 100 Plaza Blvd., Madison, AL 35758. For mailed payments, include the bottom portion of the tax notice or bill and make checks payable to Madison County Tax Collector.

Payment dates, delinquency, and tax sale timing

Madison County property taxes are due October 1 and become delinquent after December 31. A mailed payment must be postmarked by December 31 to avoid late fee and interest.

Fees and accepted payment methods

Madison County does not receive any portion of online convenience fees. Those fees go to the payment processor.

Millage rates and tax calculation basics

Madison County property tax bills are based on assessed value, the correct tax rate, and any proper exemptions. The county lists millage rates by location, so the rate depends on whether the property is in Huntsville, Madison, Triana, another municipality, or an unincorporated area.

The county’s property tax levy information page lists total millage rates and component taxes for several Madison County locations.

Assessment questions and valuation protests

Questions about appraisals or assessed values should go to the Madison County Tax Assessor’s Office. Questions about paying property taxes should go to the Madison County Tax Collector’s Office.

The property search notice states that appraised valuations listed for taxation have been fixed as provided by law and filed in the Tax Assessor’s office. For the listed tax year, valuation protests must be filed in writing by May 17, 2025.

For help with the online system, the AssuranceWeb Property help page separates appraisal and assessment questions from tax collection questions.
