Ozark

     Bright sunshine, green rolling hills and warm smiles welcome you here.  Dale County and Ozark have the best of both worlds - a small town atmosphere with friendly people, yet close to larger cities and other attractions.

     The Ozark area has a low tax structure, with certain retirement incomes being exempt from Alabama income tax, as well as one of the lowest crime rates in the State.  The climate is mild, leaving ample opportunity for outdoor recreation year-round.  Two golf courses are located in Ozark, and rivers and lakes are available for fishing and boating.  Bass, bluegill, and catfish are the "catch of the day" at Dale County (Ed Lisenby) Lake, located in Ozark.  The sportsman knows no off-season with deer, turkey, and quail in abundance.

     Full medical facilities are offered with an 89 bed County hospital, two nursing homes and a new assisted living facility.   Educational opportunities are available at nearby Wallace College, with the aviation campus located in Ozark, and Troy State University at Dothan just fifteen minutes away.

     Housing is available, with two new sub-divisions, and land for custom homes with acreage.  For the military retired, Ozark is the "Home of Fort Rucker", the largest helicopter training center in the world.

     The Ozark area has been selected as one of the 25 best places to retire in the United States by Consumer Digest magazine. Come visit with us and see for yourself - it will be a pleasure to have you.
