Cities we run in Alabama.
Active install markets across Alabama. Tap any city for its local work, neighborhoods, and pricing.
Six formats. One field log.
The same six disciplines run in every Alabama city. Only the format mix shifts by market. One crew, one contract, one paper trail.
The state law. The city rules.
Every Alabama placement runs on permitted walls and written owner consent, with a documented paper trail. Zero municipal removals on record since 2019.
State frame. Alabama statute governs outdoor advertising visible from federal-aid highways. That's the layer most agencies misread as "the law." Off-highway street-level work is governed city-by-city.
City reality. Birmingham runs on city sign permits + owner consent (5–8 day lead in tier-1 corridors). Huntsville layer their own BIDs and downtown improvement districts on top. Lead times shift with the calendar. Election season slows everything.
Where we operate without surprises. Every Alabama city below has been audited for the actual permit path. Lead times reflect real owner / BID response, not statutory minimums. Brief us and we route through what's actually possible this week.
Where we don't run paid work. Transit property without contract, state DOT right-of-way, federal parkland. If a brief routes there, we redirect to adjacent private surfaces and document the lift in writing.

Brief a Alabama campaignThe alabama playbook.
The long read for buyers scoping Alabama: how we book, scout, permit, and ship across the market.
Four Alabama cities, four different reads. Birmingham is post-industrial brick and civil-rights heritage. Montgomery is government corridors plus capital-city institutional density. Mobile is Gulf-port hospitality and cruise-terminal foot traffic. Huntsville is aerospace, defense, and the tech corridor feeding Cummings Research Park. The same crew runs Avondale this month and Lower Dauphin next month. Same operators, different audiences.

Permits in Alabama
Alabama Code Title 13A treats unauthorized poster placement as property damage. With written owner consent, the install is legal. Consent stays on file for every wall before paste goes up. No municipal permits required for approved private-property work.
Private property plus written consent. No public infrastructure, no transit, no right-of-way.

Statewide FAQ.
The questions every Alabama brief opens with, answered with the operator answer, not the marketing one.
Q · 01 What surfaces work best in Alabama?
Birmingham's downtown brick (2nd Avenue North, 5th Avenue North, Morris Avenue) reads cleanest for wheatpaste. Montgomery's commercial corridors carry painted commercial walls and utility-box inventory along Dexter and Commerce. Mobile's Gulf-port warehouse district and Huntsville's tech-corridor strip malls round out the surface map. Spring and fall holds run 21 to 42 days. Winter pushes 28 to 56 days on properly prepped walls. Humidity is the variable summer paste formulation handles.
Q · 02 Is wheatpasting legal in Alabama?
Private property with the owner's written consent is legal. Alabama Code Title 13A covers property damage without consent; the consent is what we secure. Public infrastructure, utility easements, and transit assets are never touched. Cities respond to complaints as property-rights matters, and the paperwork is the answer.
Q · 03 How much do Alabama campaigns cost?
Single-neighborhood pole sticker or stencil coverage: $3K to $5K. Small-format wheatpaste run in concentrated corridors: from $5K, typically landing in the $5K to $8K range. Multi-service combinations across two metros: $8K to $15K. Statewide three-city pass (Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile) lands $18K to $32K. Long Southern holds raise per-day CPM against the same dollar spent on coastal LED.
Q · 04 Which Alabama neighborhoods carry the strongest coverage?
Birmingham: downtown loft district, Avondale, Lakeview, and the Civil Rights District corridor along 16th Street. Montgomery: downtown government corridor, Old Cloverdale, and the Riverfront. Mobile: Lower Dauphin Street, Oakleigh, and the warehouse district feeding the cruise terminal. Huntsville: downtown square plus the Cummings Research Park gateway streets.
Q · 05 How fast do Alabama property owners approve?
Faster than Northeast or West Coast. Southern business owners take meetings, return calls, and read paperwork. First-touch to signed consent runs 5 to 10 days on new walls. Repeat properties refresh in 48 hours. Relationships compound; the same Birmingham warehouse owner who cleared a wheatpaste run last quarter clears the next one over coffee.
Q · 06 What does Alabama law require for street-level installs?
Private property with the owner's written consent. No municipal permits required for approved private-property work. Public-property installs require formal permitting with 6 to 10 week lead time and unpredictable approval, so we don't run those. Liability insurance covers every install. Documentation is delivered with the post-campaign report.
Q · 07 How long do installations hold in Alabama's climate?
Spring and fall: 21 to 42 days average. Winter: 28 to 56 days with cooler, drier conditions. Summer: 14 to 28 days without formulation adjustments, 21 to 42 with the humidity-rated paste. Gulf-coast Mobile runs higher salt-air exposure; we shift to salt-rated formulation there. North Alabama (Huntsville) cures faster than south Alabama by 2 to 4 hours.
Q · 08 Can Alabama campaigns pair with Georgia or Tennessee?
Yes. The drive triangle Atlanta to Birmingham to Nashville to Memphis lets one crew run two states inside a single deployment window. Bundling Alabama with Georgia for regional frequency, or Tennessee for cultural continuity, consolidates reporting and crew costs. Full Deep South pass (GA + TN + AL + MS) is a single quarterly run.
