Terms Used In Alabama Code 11-48-105

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • circuit: means judicial circuit. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
  • property: includes both real and personal property. See Alabama Code 1-1-1

The governing body of a municipality may, at any time before judgment entered in the circuit court, correct errors in the description of ownership of property against which an assessment has been made for public improvements and may, whenever in its judgment the assessment is in excess of the special benefits derived from such improvement, reduce the assessment pending appeal.
