Jefferson County, Birmingham City Council, salaries

SB 335 adjusts the salaries for city council members in Class 1 municipalities, which includes cities like Birmingham. Starting November 3, 2025, each council member's annual salary will be set to the municipality's median household income, rounded up to the nearest thousand, based on U.S. Census Bureau data. This new salary will replace all other compensation and expense allowances previously provided by law. The bill also requires these municipalities to publish the council members' salaries on their official websites and repeals several existing laws related to city council compensation.
