As of March 13, a state order went into effect that made price gouging illegal in Alabama during the coronavirus pandemic.
In general, that means a price that’s 25% or higher than the average over the last 30 days is usually considered a violation. Sellers can be fined up to $1,000 per violation and blocked from doing business in Alabama.
You can also report price gouging by phone by calling 1-800-392-5658.
