Registration Requirements in Montgomery

Sex offenders in Montgomery must follow Alabama law on registration. Code of Alabama Section 15-20A-10 requires quarterly in-person check-ins. This means four visits per year to the Montgomery County Sheriff. Missing a check-in is a felony that can lead to prison time.

Each visit costs $10. The sheriff collects this fee to fund the registry program. Offenders who cannot pay can ask for a waiver by showing proof of low income. At each visit, staff check the person's home address, job, and vehicle info. They take a new photo if the old one is out of date. Alabama does not use a tier system. All adult sex offenders have the same lifetime registration rule.

Offenders who move into Montgomery from another place have three days to register. This applies to people from other Alabama counties and from out of state. They must also tell the sheriff within three days if they change jobs, get a new car, or move to a new address. Code of Alabama Section 15-20A-22 sets these rules.

As the state capital, Montgomery draws people from all over Alabama. State workers, contractors, and visitors come here often. The Sex Offender Management Unit tracks anyone who moves to the city for work or any other reason.

Residency Rules in Montgomery

Montgomery has schools spread throughout the city. The 2,000-foot rule covers large parts of town, especially in neighborhoods near Montgomery Public Schools buildings. Many offenders end up in industrial areas or rural parts of the county where fewer restricted zones exist.

The state capitol area downtown has strict security because of government buildings. While this is not directly related to sex offender rules, the sheriff keeps close track of offenders who live or work near the capitol complex. If you are concerned about an offender living too close to a school, report it to the sheriff.

You can sign up for email alerts through OffenderWatch. Go to the state search site and enter your Montgomery address. The system sends an email when an offender moves into or out of your area. This free service helps many Montgomery parents keep track of who lives near their home and schools.
