The statewide personal and real estate property tax
payment deadline is October 15.
County property taxes are used to fund a variety of services in Arkansas
including public education, libraries, police and fire, local
infrastructure and emergency medical services. Citizens can avoid
penalties and late fees by paying their property taxes online
or over-the-phone before the October 15 deadline.
“County taxes fund our schools, hospitals, libraries, jails and County
government and so, it’s really important that citizens understand their
property taxes directly support their communities. Pulaski County
provides a convenient online property tax payment service through our
partnership with the Information Network of Arkansas. We introduced this
payment method several years ago and it has been extremely helpful in
getting tax payments in on time,” said Debra Buckner, Pulaski County
Treasurer.
Forty-five counties across the state offer secure
online payment options for personal property and real estate taxes.
These counties take credit and debit cards (MasterCard, Visa, American
Express, and Discover) and electronic checks. See what county payment
options are available at www.ar-tax.org.
The online and over-the-phone personal property and real estate tax
payment services available in most Arkansas counties are easy to use and
convenient for local taxpayers and citizens deployed or living abroad.
Taxpayers just need their parcel or tax-id numbers, which are provided
on their tax statements, in order to complete a tax payment transaction.
The online service also has a search feature to locate this information
by name or address and provides a confirmation and printable receipt
upon completion.
