The standard federal per diem in Alabama is $181 a day for FY2027 ($113 lodging, $68 M&IE), but 4 locations carry higher rates, led by Gulf Shores at up to $221 a night. The rates apply through September 30, 2027.
After Gulf Shores, the highest-rate Alabama locations are Huntsville (up to $146 a night) and Birmingham (up to $135 a night), plus 1 more. Rates follow the county, so a town inside a listed county gets that county's rate. Every other place in Alabama uses the standard $181.
Lodging in one Alabama location changes by season. Gulf Shores peaks at $221 from June 1 to July 31 and drops to $144 from October 1 to February 28 and from August 1 to September 30.
