  The 9-month Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalog provides the first
unbiased (log N_H < 24) look at local (<z> = 0.03) AGN. In this paper, we
present the collected X-ray properties (0.3 - 12keV) for the 153 AGN detected.
In addition, we examine the X-ray properties for a complete sample of
non-beamed sources, above the Galactic plane. Of these, 45% are best fit by
simple power law models while 55% require the more complex partial covering
model. One of our goals was to determine the fraction of "hidden" AGN, which we
define as sources with scattering fractions < 0.03 and ratios of soft to hard
X-ray flux < 0.04. We found that "hidden" AGN constitute a high percentage of
the sample (24%), proving that they are a very significant portion of local
AGN. Further, we find that the fraction of absorbed sources does increase at
lower unabsorbed 2-10 keV luminosities, as well as accretion rates. Some of the
most interesting results for the BAT AGN sample involve the host galaxy
properties. We found that 33% are hosted in peculiar/irregular galaxies and
only 5/74 hosted in ellipticals. Further, 54% are hosted in interacting/merger
galaxies. Finally, we present both the average X-ray spectrum (0.1-10 keV) and
log N-log S in the 2-10 keV band. With our average spectrum, we have the
remarkable result of reproducing the measured CXB X-ray power law slope of ~
1.4 (Marshall et al. 1980). From the log N-log S relationship, we show that we
are complete to log S < -11 in the 2-10 keV band. Both the collected X-ray
properties of our uniform sample and the log N-log S relationship will now
provide valuable input to X-ray background models for z ~ 0. (abridged)
