A return must be filed even if no taxable transactions occurred during the specified period.

Quarterly:
After a 12 month initial evaluation period, a taxpayer may request to file and pay county sales, use, or rental tax on a calendar quarter basis if the total county tax for which the taxpayer was liable averaged less than $200 per month during the preceding calendar year. The request to file and pay quarterly shall be made in writing to the Baldwin County Sales & Use Tax Department and shall be accompanied by a copy of the taxpayer's filing determination letter from the Alabama Department of Revenue. A return must be filed even if no taxable transactions occurred during the specified period. 

Annual:
After a 12 month initial evaluation period, a taxpayer may request to file and pay county sales, use, or rental tax on a yearly basis if the total county tax for which the taxpayer was liable totaled less than $10 during the preceding calendar year. The request to file and pay annually shall be made in writing to the Baldwin County Sales & Use Tax Department and shall be accompanied by a copy of the taxpayer's filing determination letter from the Alabama Department of Revenue. A return must be filed even if no taxable transactions occurred during the specified period.

Occasional:
The occasional filing option allows taxpayers to file returns only for periods in which taxable transactions occurred. Businesses that collect/accrue tax on an occasion (less than 3 times annually) via sales, deliveries, storage, use or consumption within Baldwin County will be considered for occasional filing.
