Formatting Requirements
Alabama does not enforce state-wide formatting requirements, except that a deed must be written or printed on paper or parchment. Individual counties, however, may have specific requirements.
Real Estate Sales Validation (Form RT-1) – This form must be filed at the same time as the deed.[3]
