Living in Orange Beach can be ‘taxing’ - Baldwin County NOW - A Gulf Coast Information Source for South Alabama: "ORANGE BEACH, Ala. — Orange Beach City Councilman Brett Holk is on a mission. It is a mission that brought applause from citizens who attended Tuesday night’s city council meeting, and resulted in action from the elected city leaders.
After doing some research, Holk discovered that all Class 3 residential properties within the city of Orange Beach have a 10 percent market adjustment increase on their property taxes.
A Class 3 residence is a single-family, owner-occupied residential property. The 10 percent markup, however, does not apply to condominiums. "
