Terms Used In Alabama Code 11-88-70

  • 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
  • Transcript: A written, word-for-word record of what was said, either in a proceeding such as a trial or during some other conversation, as in a transcript of a hearing or oral deposition.

Upon the filing and the approval of the appeal bond, the secretary of the authority, upon notice thereof, shall immediately send to the clerk of the circuit court to which the appeal may be taken, a transcript of all the proceedings of the authority relating to such assessment, so far as the same concerns the property of the appellant.

Such transcript shall contain a description of the property of such party or parties, which shall be described as accurately as possible according to the map of the county in common use, if there be such map, the name of the owner or owners of such property and the amount of the assessment.
