On or after the first day of each month, but not later than the last day of each month preceding the month in which the license is due, the county license commissioner may mail a form requesting the information hereinafter specified to all owners of motor vehicles or privilege licenses, or both, listed as such in the license records. Such form shall be provided by the State Department of Revenue and shall contain spaces for the name and address of the owner of the motor vehicle, the make, the model, and serial number of the vehicle, and such other information with respect thereto as the Department of Revenue may prescribe. The form shall also contain a space for the correct amount of the ad valorem taxes (state, county, school district, and municipal), the amount of the motor vehicle license due thereon, the issuance fee, and the mailing fee provided for herein; it shall also contain a space for the owner to fill in his or her present address if different from that shown in the application form and a space for his or her signature. The form shall be filled in by the department with the name and address of the owner, the description of the motor vehicle, the license tax and fees to become due as so noted or otherwise shown on the license registration and transfer records, and the amount of ad valorem tax due on the motor vehicle for the preceding tax year. The commissioner may then cause the application form so filed to be mailed to the owner of the motor vehicle at his or her address shown thereon, or to the address which the owner requests that the application form be mailed to. The owner of the motor vehicle, if he or she is still the owner of the motor vehicle, and if he or she desires to pay his or her motor vehicle ad valorem taxes and license tax and secure his or her motor registration tag by mail, shall sign the application form, indicating thereon any change of address and return the same by mail with his or her remittance for ad valorem taxes, license taxes, and fees as shown thereon to the commissioner.

When an application form is returned to the commissioner unsigned or with less than the correct amount of the taxes and fees, such form shall be returned to the owner for correction or for signature. A return of such application or remittance shall not be construed as a time extension for such payment. An additional fee equal to the original fee for issuance, handling, recording, or transfer of any combination of these shall be charged for aforementioned returns. Failure of the county license commissioner to provide notification as provided herein shall not relieve the motor vehicle owner of the responsibility of procuring his or her license and tags as otherwise required by law.

Section 45-4-82.20 Creation; Powers and Duties; Payment of Ad Valorem Tax
Status: in_force

(a) There is created within the office of the Judge of Probate of Bibb County a license division which shall issue all motor vehicle licenses and titles. The county commission shall furnish suitable quarters and provide the necessary forms, books, stationery, records, equipment, and supplies, except the stationery, forms, and supplies furnished pursuant to law by the State Department of Finance or state Comptroller. The county commission shall also provide clerks and other assistants for the judge of probate as shall be necessary from time to time for the proper and efficient performance of the duties of his or her office. The judge of probate shall have authority to employ clerks and other assistants and to fix their compensation, subject to and in accordance with the personnel policies and procedures of Bibb County concerning county employees. The compensation of the clerks and assistants shall be paid out of the general fund of the county in the same manner as other county employees are paid.

(b) The judge of probate shall perform all duties relating to the issuing of licenses and titles on motor vehicles in the county which have heretofore been performed by the tax assessor/collector. The tax assessor/collector is relieved of all duties and responsibilities relative to the issuance of licenses and titles, the payment of taxes collected by the tax assessor/collector, and the collection of certain monies relating to motor vehicles and titles. The judge of probate shall receive the commissions and fees now allowed the tax assessor/collector for performing these functions and the fees and commissions shall be remitted to the county general fund. Reporting and remitting of the monies shall be made at the same time as other reports and remittances are now made by the tax assessor/collector.

(c) The judge of probate shall keep at all times an accurate record of all motor vehicle licenses and titles received by him or her from the state Comptroller and of the disposition made of them, of all monies received, and of the licenses issued by him or her. He or she shall report to the state Comptroller at the same time and in the same manner that other officials with the duties are required to do under the general law. All unissued licenses and the stubs or duplicates or carbon copies of licenses issued shall be accounted for in the same manner that the officials are required to account for by law.

(d) To prevent motor vehicles from escaping taxation and to provide for a more efficient procedure for assessment and collection of taxes due on same, no licenses shall be issued to operate motor vehicles on the public highways of this state nor shall any transfer be made by the judge of probate until the ad valorem tax on the vehicles shall have been paid to the county for the preceding year as evidenced by receipt from the judge of probate. Every person, firm, or corporation driving or owning a motor vehicle who desires to operate a motor vehicle on the public highways of Alabama shall first return the motor vehicle for ad valorem taxation purposes to the judge of probate who shall issue a certificate of assessment on a form prescribed by the State Department of Revenue, shall collect the taxes shown thereon, and shall make a duplicate of the tax receipt and keep same on files in his or her office. The license tag shall be evidence of the payment of the license and ad valorem tax due as provided under this section.

(e) Before any vehicles can be assessed, the judge of probate shall be furnished the tag number presently on the vehicle unless the vehicle is new, in which case the judge of probate shall be furnished a bona fide bill of sale from the dealer showing when the vehicle was bought new. In the case of a used car brought into the state from a state which provides that upon sale or transfer of the motor vehicle the tags are either surrendered to an appropriate authority or subsequently reissued by the seller, the judge of probate shall be furnished a bona fide certificate of title property assigned which shows when the car was sold to an individual, firm, corporation, or association, living or operating in this state. If the tag number or bill of sale or certificate of title is not furnished, the vehicle will be presumed to have been in the state the entire year for which taxes are being assessed. Those motor vehicles brought into the state during any tax year and new motor vehicles for which licenses have never been issued that have been sold from the stock of a dealer during any tax year, shall be subject to taxation as if they had been held or owned in the state on the first day of October.

(f) The judge of probate may mail an application for renewal of licenses to whom the license has been previously issued renewal forms required to be returned prior to the expiration date of the license. The renewal forms may be in post card form and with sufficient information thereon to adequately identify and process the renewal. The signature of the licensee thereon and proper remittance shall constitute sufficient authority for the judge of probate to issue the license and return to the licensee by mail. There is established a fee to be entitled “Mail Order Fee” which shall be set from time to time by the county commission to pay the cost of the mailing procedure herein provided, and the fee shall be collected by the judge of probate at the time of issuance and paid over to the general fund of the county as are other fees and commissions.

Such borrowing may be evidenced by sale of such bonds either at private or public sale, in such manner and from time to time as may be determined by the corporation to be most advantageous, and the corporation may pay all expenses, premiums, and commissions which the authority may deem necessary and advantageous in connection with any such financing.
