Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
circuit: means judicial circuit. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
Probate: Proving a will
property: includes both real and personal property. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.

(b) Either the city or the property owner may appeal from the judgment of the circuit court to the supreme court within the time and in the same manner as is provided by the Alabama Rules of Appellate Procedure for an appeal from such court in an analogous action.

(c) In each contested action before the judge of probate where judgment is entered adjudging that the property is subject to city taxation and where there is no appeal from such judgment, the judge of probate, as soon as the time for an appeal has expired, shall make an endorsement on the record of said map across the property in contest as shown on said map, “Adjudged subject to city taxation.”
