Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Residential demolition usually requires a permit in Alabama. Confirm the specifics with Unincorporated Bibb County.

ADEM states that privately owned residential buildings of 4 or fewer units that remain residential property are exempt from its asbestos regulations, but not when the home is part of a larger project; covered demolitions need a 10-day notice and a survey by an accredited inspector. Jefferson County Health Department and the City of Huntsville run their own asbestos demolition programs; ADEM covers the rest of the state. Alabama law requires notice to the One-Call Notification System at least two working days before demolition near underground utilities (Code of Ala. 37-15-4). ADEM states that debris from demolishing a residential building is regulated solid waste; separated clean concrete, brick, block, and soil may be managed differently. This job demolishes a home or a structure with active water, sewer, gas or electrical service. Utilities normally must be disconnected and capped by the utility or a licensed trade before demolition, and departments commonly require proof of that before issuing a demolition permit. Ask your department and your state environmental agency whether an asbestos or lead survey is required before demolition, and whether a sewer cap inspection applies.
