Human Factors; Procedure
In bound to Runway 8; cleared for the visual approach and through Double Eagle's airspace. I continued towards the runway and was told by tower they received a low altitude alert. I was aware of the surrounding terrain and obstacles and was never in doubt of the continued safe operation of the flight. I did; however climb a few hundred feet (for a short bit) just for the sake of a response to the towers comment.
Pilot reported receiving a low altitude alert from ATC while on a visual approach.
