Alabama Fuel Taxes
Alternative Fuel Tax
The state road tax for vehicles that operate on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas is paid through the purchase of an annual flat fee sticker and the amount is based on the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. Each person owning and/or operating a vehicle that operates on LPG or natural gas must obtain an annual decal from the Alabama LPG Board. The decal must be affixed to the vehicle as directed by the LPG Board as proof that the flat fee has been paid. The issuance fee is $5 plus the decal fee. Owners of vehicles that are converted to operate on LPG or natural gas must apply for a decal within 10 days of conversion or a 20% penalty will be applied to the decal fee. Out-of-state alternative fuel vehicle operators that purchase LPG or natural gas within the state must pay the current Alabama motor fuel tax. The LPG or natural gas dealer or supplier must remit these funds to the LPG Board before the 20th of the month following the date of sale. (Reference Code of Alabama 40-17-160 through 40-17-165)
