Arkansas’s effective property tax rates range from 0.8 to 1.6%. While tax rates are lower, it is important to consistently review your property assessment to ensure the value is accurate and you are not overpaying on taxes.Arkansas properties are assessed at 20% of their appraised or market value by the county assessor’s office as of January 1 of the current year. Properties in Arkansas are assessed every four years.
Arkansas properties are assessed at 20% of their appraised or market value by the county assessor’s office as of January 1 of the most recent assessment. In 2023, legislation was passed that changed every county in the state to a four-year reassessment cycle as opposed to the three or five-year cycles previously in place. However, if a five-year reappraisal results in an overall value increase of 25% or more, the law requires that county to revalue all real estate every three years.During the reappraisal cycle, each property is visited by the assessor or their representative. Data gathered to value commercial properties includes the size of the improvements, the quality and condition of the improvements, occupancy, sales data, and rental data. For valuation purposes, one of the three approaches to value (sales comparison, cost approach, or income approach) is applied to the property to arrive at an estimated market value. Analysis and comparison are done with properties to verify the accuracy of the value. In some instances, the assessor may require individual appraisals or bring in experts to assist in the valuation of special-use or complex industrial properties.Amendment 79 provides limitations on the increase of taxable assessed value for real property as the result of a county-wide reappraisal. Homestead property is limited to a 5% annual increase, while all other real property parcels—including commercial, agricultural, and vacant properties—are limited to a 10% annual increase until the property reaches full assessed value. The 5 and 10% caps do not apply to newly discovered real property, new construction, or substantial improvements to real property that add 25% or more to the value of the property or when a sale with deed transfer occurs.
All property owners receiving an increase in property value will receive a “notice of real estate value change” by mail. Properties with no change in value or a decrease in value will not be notified. Notices are generally mailed in July with a deadline to file a petition to appeal on the third Monday in August.The property value notice will include the property’s previous, new, and taxable value in addition to the estimated tax change, calculating the difference in current and estimated taxes. The notice will also provide appeal deadlines and filing procedures. Please note that a missed deadline or incorrect filing can result in your appeal being dismissed.
The first step in an appeal is usually to request an informal meeting with someone in the appraisal department at the county assessor’s office to review the property. If an agreement cannot be reached informally, property owners have several more opportunities to appeal. The first level of formal appeal is to the County Board of Equalization (BOE). The BOE meets August 1 through October 1. Property owners may call to schedule a formal appeal beginning the third Monday in July and no later than the third Monday in August. The BOE is a nine-member board made up of representatives from local school districts, cities, and incorporated towns, the County Judge, and the County Quorum Court. Once the BOE reaches a decision, written notices will be sent to the property owner at least 10 business days after the hearing.If you disagree with the local BOE’s decision, you may appeal to the County Judge. While individual property owners may file and sign a petition of appeal without an attorney present, properties owned by corporations, LLCs, or other business entities require an attorney. The County Court schedules hearings no later than November 15 of each year. The County Court will notify the property owner of its decision within 20 working days after the hearing, including the right to appeal the County Court decision to the Circuit Court.Ready to appeal your Arkansas property valuation?

In Arkansas, the taxes payable in any year are for the previous year’s assessment. Real estate and personal property tax bills are issued in March and are due October 15 of each year, except for Pulaski County, which has three tax bill installment payments. Partial payments are generally accepted up to the deadline.Any unpaid taxes after the October 15 deadline are considered delinquent and will be assessed a 10% penalty. Taxes are calculated by multiplying the assessed value (market value multiplied by the assessment ratio) by the county millage rate.
