Alabama’s New Gas Tax Begins Today

September 1, 2019

The first phase of Alabama’s newest gas tax went into effect Sunday.

The gas tax is an extra 6 cents per gallon, with another 2 cents coming in 2020 and 2021 for a total 10 cent increase.

The increase was earmarked for road and bridge projects by the Alabama legislature. Each penny is expected to translate to $32 million in additonal revenue.

It was the first change in Alabama’s gas tax since 1992.
