- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- 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 hearing such appeal, the introduction of such transcript and papers shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of such assessment and that said property and persons are justly indebted to the city or town for the amount of said assessment.
