The Alabama County Special Ad Valorem Tax, Amendment 18, also known as Amendment 18, was on the ballot in Alabama on December 11, 1951, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was defeated. The amendment proposed to amend the constitution. The amendment proposed that, in addition to all other taxes now or hereafter authorized, the governing body of Chambers County would have the power to levy and collect, for a period of not exceeding 12 years, a special ad valorem tax on all real and tangible personal property only, located within the County, at a rate not exceeding five mills on each dollar's worth of said real and tangible personal property for the purpose of acquiring, constructing and equipping public school buildings within the County, including city school buildings, provided, however, such tax shall not be levied and collected until it has been authorized by a majority of the voters of the County at an election called for that purpose. In the event such tax is authorized by the qualified voters of the County, the governing body of the County shall thereupon be authorized to sell and issue its tax anticipation bonds in such amounts as it may determine for the purposes for which said tax was authorized.[1]
