Quoted: Taxes ? tags ? moving in cars from out of state ? South Alabama ? Places to avoid around the state beside the big cities ? Carry permits? South AL = hot and humid. Close to beaches though. CCW permits are shall issue; <30 days unless they find out you're a prohibited person Retagging cars = DMV visit = agony contest (pretty much the same in any state I'd imagine) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thanks how is the northeastern area ? I have been up there a few times and enjoyed it I’d look around Ft. Payne. Avoid most of Gadsden and most of Anniston. Collinsville and Crossville have large Hispanic populations as well as drugs. The locals call that area Meth Mountain. Boaz, Albertville, and Guntersville are nice, just need to look at the area you’re moving to. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thanks how is the northeastern area ? I have been up there a few times and enjoyed it NE AL is Jackson county. Has more caves than any other county in the US. Very rural, largest city is Scottsdale IRC. Not a whole lot of heavy industry but there is some, mainly around the defunct Bellefonte nuclear power plant. |

For vehicle tags.... I have a 2010 Altima as a DD and a 2007 F150 FX4 as the HD/Lowes truck. Combined the tags are less than $250 a year.
Property taxes are where you will save the most in AL. |

Boaz here and I enjoy the area, all of the many Hispanics I personally know are hard working and family oriented. I travel an hour Southeast for work daily and I’m not fond of Gadsden and beyond on 431 or 77.

Sales tax, now that's a different story. And brakeman nails it on the property taxes. ~$800/year on 1500 square feet / $150k (as appraised in 2015), and I am technically in the HSV City limits even though I go through Madison to get to Research Park every weekday. Property insurance is a different story. Thanks to the love that tornados show this area my homeowners insurance has tripled in ~15 years, with no claims... Sales tax in most of HSV is 9%. At Larry's West off of 565 it's 10.5% since they are in HSV and Limestone County. |

Is there open carry ? Not looking to do it but was wondering ? Is the carry permit good to avoid the 4473 background check? I have a lot of good Alabama jokes that are going to have to convert to Mississippi.

A large part of my family is from the Clay/Randolph area (right on the line)
Always thought if I moved back to Alabama it would be that area or north to the Tennessee line or just over. Weird how for 200+ years one side of my daily has went back and forth between there and the troup/heard county area There’s a shit ton of people who work at Kia then drive back to Alabama here (chambers/Randolph/lee county) |

The University of Alabama was my first choice of schools I wanted to attend, but I couldn’t afford to make it happen. Guess I should have thrown away things I collected as a child and teenager and quit following them when I enrolled at USA. |

Every time I hear someone that’s alumni from a particular school complain about non-alumni pulling for their school, I tell them that it would be awesome if the school never saw a dime of any of the merchandise licensing money that’s made off of those same people. |

I prefer the Northern half of the State. Up around the Tn river is a beautiful area. There is a very different topography in South Alabama, it is the "flat Alabama" that most people envision when they think of Alabama. The foothills of the Appalachian chain starts in the B'ham area at Tannehill state park. The State begin to flatten out South of this area. A lot of south Al. has sandy soil. Close to the beach, though.
