Tuscaloosa Demolition Pros covers Moundville, the town on Alabama Highway 69 that straddles the Hale and Tuscaloosa county line, with most of it on the Hale side. Moundville has its own building inspector, so a garage or house teardown here goes through City Hall at 410 Market Street.
Moundville's 2008 ordinance priced a demolition permit at $25, a trivial cost next to a house teardown that can reach $17,800 in this area, so skipping it saves nothing worth having.

Around Tuscaloosa, HomeBlue's cost guide puts a typical house in this band. Garages and sheds cost less, and the contractor who takes your Moundville call confirms a written price.
Moundville's Building Inspector and Permit Fee
Ordinance 2008-09 set the demolition permit fee at $25.00, residential or commercial, and extends the building inspector's reach to the police jurisdiction. A newer fee schedule posted in 2026 is a scanned image that could not be read, so confirm the amount at 205-371-2641. The application, updated December 2024, asks city or police jurisdiction, flood zone yes or no, and contractor license numbers.
Moundville Flood Ground, River Soil and Tornado Past
Moundville sits half a mile off the Black Warrior River on Savannah silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, nearly flat. A frequently flooded complex ranks among the largest mapped units in Hale County's survey, which is why that flood zone box deserves a careful answer. A 1904 tornado killed 37 people here, and a 1932 tornado destroyed the elementary school.
Moundville Streets, the Rail Line and the Mounds
The Alabama Great Southern railroad runs along the town's west side, and Moundville Archaeological Park lies inside town limits. The median home dates to 2002, though 166 of 1,153 are mobile homes. On asbestos, ADEM exempts privately owned residential buildings of 4 or fewer units, while warning that the exemption can put homeowners at risk; regulated structures need its 10-day notice on Form 496.

Local tip for Moundville: A garage teardown is a good time to decide whether the old slab goes too, while the track loader is already on the lot.

Garage demolition in Moundville on an old wood garage is a short machine job: walls pulled in, tin set aside for scrap, lumber into a dumpster.
Moundville House Teardowns
House demolition here begins with the permit form and the flood zone answer, then the framing, piers or slab come out and the ground is leveled.
Mobile Homes in Moundville
When a Moundville single-wide wears out, mobile home demolition strips it to the chassis, cuts the steel and pulls the tie-downs.
Sheds and Carports Around Moundville
Sagging carports are quick work for a skid steer. Pair shed demolition with a larger job on the same lot to share the hauling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Moundville Demolition Questions
How much is a demolition permit in Moundville?
Ordinance 2008-09 set it at $25.00 for residential and commercial demolition. A 2026 fee schedule could not be read, so confirm today's amount with City Hall.
What does a Moundville house teardown cost?
Moundville sits in a market where HomeBlue prices a typical house teardown at $8,500 to $17,800; garages and sheds cost well under that.
What are the signs my garage needs to be torn down?
A sagging roof line, rotted bottom plates, a heaved slab and doors that bind because the frame has racked. If it is not safe to park under, demolition usually beats patching.
Does Moundville's permit cover the police jurisdiction?
Yes. The 2008 ordinance extends the inspector's jurisdiction to the police jurisdiction, and the permit application asks whether the property is in the city or the PJ.
Is my Moundville lot in a flood zone?
The permit application asks that directly. With the river about half a mile away, settle the answer before demolition and before any grading or fill.
