Alabama's homestead statute, like other state homestead laws, places a limit on acreage and value that can be designated as a homestead. However, the limits differ between Alabama's constitution (limiting homesteads to 80 acres and $2,000) and its statutory code (limiting homesteads to 160 acres and $5,000).
Homeowners may qualify for different homestead exemptions from the various taxing jurisdictions including school system, cities, and Fulton County. Once granted, exemptions are automatically renewed each year as long as the homeowner continually occupies the property under the same ownership.
