What Birmingham is, in the records

Birmingham is a city in Jefferson and Shelby Counties, Alabama. The Census Bureau puts its internal point at 33.527174, -86.797036 and its land area at 147.07 square miles. Septic permitting and record keeping happen at the county level, not the city level, which is why every figure below is attributed to the county and linked back to the county page it came from.

What we hold for the county that covers Birmingham

Our collection for Jefferson County, Alabama is small, at 26 septic records. Treat it as a starting point for a Birmingham property rather than a search that settles the question. The county is genuinely mixed: 72,264 of 226,498 classified parcels are on septic and the rest are sewered. Which side of that line a Birmingham address falls on is worth establishing before anything else. The county publishes a records portal, but reaching the documents needs an account or a login, so budget for that step rather than expecting an open search.
