Can I buy a property with delinquent taxes in Alabama?
Alabama runs tax lien auction/sale or tax deed/state interest sales.

The redemption period is 3 years, and the investor return is 12%/yr max, bid down to 0% (tax lien auctions); traditional tax-deed sales redeem at 12%, but capped at 8% on the overbid for sales after 1/1/2020.
