Plain English — not legal advice.
Because § 35-12A-9 was repealed by Act 2014-167 effective June 1, 2014, property owners and managers should be aware that this specific provision no longer provides any procedural framework for the sale or disposal of abandoned dwellings. Compliant operators typically look to other current and active provisions within Alabama law when addressing abandoned property situations. Consulting the remaining active sections of Ala. Code §§ 35-12A-1 to 35-12A-15 and other applicable Alabama statutes is a common starting point for understanding current obligations.
