Property taxes in Alabama are second lowest in the Nation. Only Arkansas has lower property tax. If tax payers in Alabama have a complaint, it should be with your high sales tax. It more than double the sales tax of Virginia which is 4.5%. Virginia property tax is at least four or five times Alabama's for the value of the property (comparing apples to apples).

What you get for your taxes paid may depend upon your perspective. I have no children, but I do pay taxes for other folk to send their children to public schools. No complaint there, but I do complain about poor roads, poor police services and etc. which is just as bad anywhere else I have lived as it is in Alabama. Alabama also does not have personal property tax. Count yourself lucky again.
