MemberJune 23, 2024 at 5:05 pm in reply to: How Are Property Tax and Homeowners Insurance on Homes in AlabamaWhen buying a house in Alabama, you can expect relatively low property taxes and moderate homeowners insurance rates compared to many other states in the U.S. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
Property Taxes in Alabama:
Low Property Tax Rates: Alabama has some of the lowest property tax rates in the country. The average effective property tax rate is approximately 0.33% of a home’s market value (Tax-Rates.org).
County Variations: Property tax rates can vary by county. For example, Jefferson County may have slightly different rates compared to Mobile County, so it’s important to check the specific rates in the county where you plan to buy.
Example Calculation: For a home valued at $200,000, you would pay approximately $660 annually in property taxes.
Tax Assessment: Property taxes are based on the appraised fair market value of the property as determined by the county tax assessor.
Homeowners Insurance in Alabama:
Moderate Insurance Rates: The cost of homeowners insurance in Alabama tends to be higher than the national average due to the risk of natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes.
Average Premiums: Alabama’s average annual premium for homeowners insurance is around $1,300. However, this can vary depending on factors such as the property’s location, the home’s age and condition, and the level of coverage chosen (Tax-Rates.org).
Factors Affecting Rates: Homes in coastal areas prone to hurricanes may face higher insurance premiums. Additionally, the condition of the home and any mitigating features (like storm shutters) can impact rates.
Property Taxes are low, averaging 0.33% of the home’s market value, making Alabama one of the states with the lowest property tax rates in the U.S.
Homeowners Insurance is moderately high due to natural disaster risks, with average premiums around $1,300 annually, but it can vary based on specific risk factors and coverage levels. Contact Alabama’s local tax authorities and insurance providers for the most accurate and personalized information.

Thank you for sharing this vivid and personal account of basketball culture in New York City. Your description paints a rich picture of urban life and the unwritten rules that govern street basketball. Here’s a summary of the key points from your story:
Setting: New York City, described as a “concrete jungle” with cement playgrounds.
Basketball is the dominant inner-city game.
Unspoken rules of street basketball:
- The first team on the court plays until they lose (“home court” advantage).
- These rules were consistent across neighborhoods (South Bronx, Harlem, Greenwich Village).
Personal experience:
- You describe yourself as not being an exceptional player (“white man’s disease,” limited jumping ability).
- You coached your son from elementary through high school.
Specific locations mentioned:
- West 4th Street subway stop in Greenwich Village.
- West 3rd Street basketball court, one block south.
Notable players:
- Dick Barnett of the Knicks.
- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then known as Lew Alcindor) attended Power Memorial Academy High School.
Your strategy: Arriving early to claim a “home court” advantage.
Evolution of the West 3rd Street courts:
- Became a tourist attraction.
- The “West 3rd Street Basketball League” was formed with corporate sponsors like Nike and Pepsi.
Your story effectively illustrates how basketball is more than just a sport in urban environments—it’s a cultural institution with its own rules, traditions, and community dynamics. It also shows how these grassroots games can evolve into more organized and commercialized events.

Open Membership: Simple registration and account creation.
Invitation or Nomination: Requires existing members to invite new ones.

- Check the official GCA FORUMS website for membership information

- If possible, reach out to an existing member for guidance or a referral
This structured membership process could contribute to the forum’s perceived value and growth, as members might feel part of a more exclusive or professional community.

Is Kamala Harris that much of an idiot that can run for President once Dementia Joe Biden steps down? I don’t think so but the Democrats are running out of candidates.
