About Property Taxes in Arkansas
Arkansas property taxes are among the lowest in the country. Property is administered at the county level, with the county assessor setting values and the county collector billing and collecting taxes. Residential property is assessed at 20% of its true market value — so a $200,000 home has an assessed value of $40,000 before exemptions. Tax bills are mailed in the fall and are due October 15. Arkansas also taxes personal property (vehicles, equipment) on the same schedule as real property.
Payment & Assessment
Arkansas property taxes are due October 15 each year. A 10% penalty applies to taxes paid after October 15. After the end of the year, delinquent taxes may be certified to the State Land Commissioner, and the property can eventually be subject to forfeiture proceedings. Most counties accept payment online through the county collector's website, by mail, and in person. Partial payments are generally not accepted.

About Washington County
Washington County is a regional economic, educational, and cultural hub in the Northwest Arkansas region. Created as Arkansas's 17th county on November 30, 1848, Washington County has 13 incorporated municipalities, including Fayetteville, the county seat, and Springdale. The county is also the site of small towns, bedroom communities, and unincorporated places. The county is named for George Washington, the first President of the United States. Located within the Ozark Mountains, the county is roughly divided into two halves: the rolling Springfield Plateau in the more populous north of the county and the steeper, forested Boston Mountains in the much less populated south. It contains three segments of the Ozark National Forest, two state parks, two Wildlife Management Areas, the Garrett Hollow Natural Area, and dozens of city parks. Other historical features such as Civil War battlefields, log cabins, one-room school houses, community centers, and museums describe the history and culture of Washington County. Washington County occupies 951.72 square miles and contained a population of 245,871 people in 89,249 households as of the 2020 Census, ranking it 4th in size and 3rd in population among the state's 75 counties. The economy is largely based on the business/management, education, sales, office/administration, and poultry production industries. Poverty rates, median household income, and unemployment rates best state averages, but lag national trends. Washington County has long had a reputation for education in the state. The University of Arkansas, the largest four-year college in the state, was established in Fayetteville in 1871. A Washington County campus of the Northwest Arkansas Community College was opened in 2019 in Springdale. Today, Washington County contains eight public school districts, including two of the largest districts in the state and two private schools. It is included in the Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers Metropolitan Statistical Area.
