Search Bullock County Property Records, Parcel Numbers and GIS Maps
Trying to find a property in Bullock County, Alabama? The County provides several official online tools for locating land, checking property ownership information and reviewing appraisal records. You can begin with an address, an owner’s name, a parcel number or legal-description details, depending on which search tool you open.
The most useful starting points are the Bullock County Public GIS database, its interactive parcel viewer and the Citizen Access appraisal portal. These resources are linked from the Alabama Department of Revenue’s county directory.
How to search Bullock County parcels online
Unlike some county websites that offer only a basic address search, Bullock County’s Public GIS system includes several different fields. That makes it useful for homes in Union Springs as well as farmland and undeveloped tracts elsewhere in the county.

Bullock County GIS maps: locate land and nearby parcels
A GIS map can be especially helpful when the property is outside Union Springs and does not have a familiar street address. Bullock County’s interactive viewer provides a geographic way to work with parcel records.
How Bullock County parcel numbers work
Bullock County’s Public GIS search displays a multi-part parcel identifier beginning with the county code 09. This corresponds to Bullock County in Alabama’s uniform parcel-numbering system.
Alabama’s statewide parcel framework includes geographic components that identify where the parcel is located and distinguish the individual tract.
The Alabama Department of Revenue also explains that where a parcel is split, the new tract can be assigned the original parcel number with an added decimal identifier.
What appears in Bullock County property records?
Bullock’s Public GIS provides multiple record categories. Its search page identifies Basic, Parcel, Land, Building and Improvement information.
Information |
What it helps you check |
|---|---|
Parcel number |
The identifier associated with the tract in county appraisal and mapping records. |
Owner name |
The owner or taxpayer name recorded in the property database. |
Physical location |
The property location, where a situs address exists. |
Mailing address |
The address associated with correspondence, which may differ from the property location. |
Total acreage |
The land area recorded for appraisal purposes. |
Subdivision or district |
Local geographic or assessment grouping. |
Section, township and range |
Legal-location clues, particularly useful for rural property. |
Deed book/page |

Building and improvement information |
Structures and other characteristics used in property appraisal. |
Search by owner name, location or mailing address
Bullock’s Public GIS system distinguishes physical property location from the mailing address. This is important when the taxpayer receives correspondence somewhere other than the parcel itself.
Search by owner’s name
- Open Basic Search.
- Find the Owner’s Name field.
- Enter the owner’s name or a useful partial name according to the search controls.
- Review potential matches and compare their parcel details.
- Verify the exact property before treating the result as the intended record.
Search by property location
The interface separates the street number and street name. Enter the number and name in their respective fields. If the address is incomplete, a partial street name may help narrow the results.
Search by mailing address
Use the MailAddr field when you know where tax correspondence is sent but do not know the property’s physical location.
Finding farmland and rural acreage in Bullock County
Bullock County includes agricultural communities, wooded tracts and rural land outside Union Springs. In these areas, relying only on street addresses may not work.
The county’s Public GIS system offers several fields specifically useful for rural parcels.
Example: locating a tract without an address
Understanding Bullock County property appraisal and assessed value
Alabama property tax uses an appraised value and an assessment percentage determined by the property’s legal classification.
A property’s appraised market value should not be confused with its assessed value or the final tax bill.
Alabama property class |
Assessment ratio |
Typical property |
|---|---|---|
Class I |
30% |
Utility property. |
Class II |
20% |
Commercial and other property not classified elsewhere. |
Class III |
10% |
Qualifying owner-occupied residential, agricultural, forest and certain historic property. |
Class IV |
15% |
Qualifying privately owned passenger vehicles and pickup trucks. |
Classification is important. A parcel’s legal use and occupancy can affect its assessment percentage, and the land, buildings and other improvements may require different treatment.
How Bullock County property tax is calculated
Alabama property-tax rates are expressed in mills. A mill equals $1 in tax for each $1,000 of taxable assessed value.
Illustrative residential example
- Property appraised value: $180,000.
- Qualifying Class III assessment ratio: 10%.
- True assessed value: $18,000.
- Illustrative combined millage: 35 mills.
- $18,000 × 35 ÷ 1,000 = $630 before applicable exemptions and other adjustments.
When Bullock County property taxes are due
Alabama real-property taxes are generally due between October 1 and December 31 each year. Unpaid taxes normally become delinquent on January 1, with statutory costs and consequences possible thereafter.
If you are searching during the October–December payment season, verify the tax year, outstanding balance and accepted payment methods directly with Bullock County.
Alabama’s 7% taxable assessed-value cap and Bullock County property
Alabama’s Act 2024-344 established a limit on annual increases in taxable assessed value for eligible Class II and Class III real property.
When the cap applies, taxable assessed value generally cannot rise by more than 7% from the previous year’s taxable assessed value, unless a statutory exception applies.
Bullock County homestead exemptions
If you own and occupy a qualifying home as your primary residence, you may be eligible for an Alabama homestead exemption.
Alabama generally defines a homestead as a single-family owner-occupied residence with up to 160 acres of associated land. The applicant must satisfy the ownership and occupancy requirements for the relevant tax year.
Who may qualify?
- Owners of qualifying primary residences.
- Homeowners age 65 or older who meet an applicable exemption category.
- Qualifying permanently and totally disabled homeowners.
- Qualifying blind homeowners.
The amount of relief varies by exemption category, income rules and the type of tax being reduced. Senior, disability and blindness provisions may provide greater relief than the regular homestead exemption.
How to apply in Bullock County
- Review the state’s homestead eligibility guidance.
- Confirm the home is your qualifying primary residence.
- Gather ownership, identification, income or disability documentation as applicable.
- Contact the Bullock County Revenue Commissioner at 334-738-2888.
- Follow the local filing and documentation instructions.
- Review the next tax record to confirm the approved exemption has been applied.
Current-use valuation for Bullock County farm and timberland
Qualified agricultural and forest property in Alabama may be valued according to its eligible current use rather than its potential market value for another use.
This is especially important when researching rural acreage, timberland or farmland in Bullock County. A parcel’s taxable appraisal may be different from the amount a buyer would pay for the land on the open market.
What to do if a Bullock County assessment seems wrong
If a property record lists an incorrect building size, acreage, condition or market value, begin by contacting the Bullock County Revenue Commissioner.
Alabama provides a formal County Board of Equalization protest procedure. A property owner generally has 30 days after receiving written notice of valuation to file a written protest.
