Terms Used In Alabama Code 11-48-47

  • 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.
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
  • property: includes both real and personal property. See Alabama Code 1-1-1

In the event the final judgment is entered in favor of the city or town, execution may be issued thereon against the principal and sureties on the appeal bond, unless the amount of the judgment is paid within 30 days from the date of such judgment, and the court shall, by further order, require that the property assessed be sold to satisfy such judgment.

Nothing contained in this article shall operate to release or discharge the lien on such property unless the assessment is fully paid.
