Ala. Code § 18-1A-284

No appeal shall suspend the judgment or deprive the applicant of the right of entry, provided the amount of the damages assessed for the parties who appeal or against whom an appeal is taken shall have been paid into probate court in money and a bond shall have been given in double the amount of such damage, with good and sufficient surety, to pay such damages as the property owners may sustain. Said amount of damages may be paid into probate court and said bond in double the amount of such damage, with good and sufficient surety, may be given at the time of taking the appeal or at any time thereafter that the applicant may desire the right of entry pending the appeal.
