Revenue

The City of Chelsea contracts with a 3rd party (Alabama Department of Revenue) for the collection of sales & use, seller's use, and consumer's use taxes.  These taxes are remitted via ONESPOT with the jurisdiction/locality code 9158.

For business licenses, rental, and lodging taxes, we are self-collecting.  However, the rental and lodging taxes may be paid online via ONESPOT but the jurisdiction/locality code for those would be 9258 effective January 31, 2023.  If you have any problems or questions about your Chelsea lodging/rental taxes, please contact City Hall @ 205-678-8455.

Your City of Chelsea taxes may be remitted online through ONESPOT through the "Local Tax" account in the Alabama Department of Revenue's online filing system, My Alabama Taxes (MAT), the ONESPOT to file:   https://myalabamataxes.alabama.gov.

For any problems with the MAT/ONESPOT system or sales & use tax-related questions, contact the Alabama Department of Revenue @ 334-242-1490. 

For non-tax debts that are delinquent, the City of Chelsea utilizes MIS (Municipal Intercept Service) to assist in collecting those debts. MIS is a program that helps municipalities recover debts from Alabama State Income Tax refunds as allowed by the Alabama Legislature in 2014.  Examples of debts MIS collects are as follows:

  • Municipal Court Fines and Fees
  • Library Fees
  • Fire/EMS billings
  • Returned Check Fees
