Two moist code zones and a split ENERGY STAR map
Alabama's code zones are set county by county. DOE's guide PNNL-33270 (2021 county data) assigns 58 of the 67 counties to IECC zone 3A and the remaining 9 to zone 2A. The letter A is DOE's marker for moist climates. The IECC sets its window requirements by climate zone, so the county of the house decides which table a permitted Alabama job is checked against.
Alabama is not inside a single ENERGY STAR window zone. The ENERGY STAR climate zone map (August 2025) draws more than one zone across the state, so a buyer confirms the zone for each county or ZIP code with the ENERGY STAR zone finder before matching a product line to a territory.
Alabama home builders license and recovery fund
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Alabama's licensing law reaches remodeling as well as new homes. The Home Builders Licensure Board quotes Ala. Code 34-14A-2(16) on its unlicensed builders page (checked October 7, 2026): the definition of a residential home builder covers the repair, improvement or reimprovement of a residence when the cost of the undertaking exceeds $10,000. The board can fine an unlicensed builder up to $5,000.
Homeowners who hire a licensed builder have a fund behind them. The board's Recovery Fund page (checked October 7, 2026) sets the maximum payment at $30,000 for a single transaction, paid only after a valid court judgment, and excludes claims based on a residential roofers license.
The state's home solicitation cancellation rule and its other buyer rules are on leads in Alabama.
Which energy code Alabama homes follow
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
The Department of Energy page for Alabama (checked October 7, 2026) shows the 2015 IECC with amendments as the current residential code, effective October 1, 2016. It shows no adoption date for that edition. Window jobs that are part of a permitted renovation are reviewed against the code in force where the house stands.
Alabama homes by age and value
The median housing unit in Alabama dates from 1986 in table B25035 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024). In table B25034 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024), 42.1% of units were built before 1980, and the 1970s are the largest decade before that line, at 358,939 units. Newer homes are common too: the same table counts 254,580 units built from 2010 to 2019 and 52,951 built in 2020 or later.
Table B25077 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) puts the median owner-occupied value at $209,900. Because the licensing rule above turns on the cost of the job, buyers often want the number of windows on the lead so they can estimate project size before the first call.
Alabama window lead filters
- Number of windows and scope: the count and the type of work give an early read on job size against the state license threshold.
- ZIP code: the code zone is assigned by county, so buyers map their ZIP codes to the county list.
- Home age: the build year separates the 1970s and older stock from the newer half of the state's housing.
- Homeowner status: the lead is from the owner, who can sign the contract.
