Section 45-3-171.24
Assessment of costs; sale and redemption of lots.
The city shall have the power to assess the costs authorized herein against any lot or lots, parcel or parcels of land purchased by the State of Alabama at any sale for nonpayment of taxes, and where any assessment is made against the lot or lots, parcel or parcels of the land, a subsequent redemption thereof by any person authorized to redeem, or sale thereof by the state, shall not operate to discharge, or in any manner affect the lien of the city for the assessment, but any redemptioner or purchaser at any sale by the state of any lot or lots, parcel or parcels of land upon which an assessment has been levied, whether prior to or subsequent to sale to the state for the nonpayment of taxes, shall take the same subject to the assessment. The assessment shall then be added to the tax bill of the property, collected as a tax, and remitted to the city.
