Arkansas Property Tax Payments Due October 17

Convenient online payment options available in
52 Arkansas counties
The statewide personal and real estate property tax payment
deadline is October 17. Citizens in 52 Arkansas counties can avoid
late fees and in-person payment lines by paying their property
taxes online before the deadline. A directory of participating
counties and secure mobile payment sites is available at
www.ar.gov/tax.
“It’s important that citizens realize that their property taxes
directly support their communities. Funding for our schools,
libraries, jails, county government, and hospital is made possible
by property taxes,” Pulaski County Treasurer Debra Buckner said.
“Pulaski County provides an online property tax payment service
through our partnership with the Information Network of Arkansas.
We introduced this payment option years ago and it has been
extremely helpful in getting tax payments in on time. This year,
we’ve also reduced the electronic payment fees to encourage more
Arkansans to take advantage of this convenient and time-saving
service.”
To make a secure payment on a computer or mobile device,
taxpayers just need to enter the parcel or tax-ID numbers provided
on their tax statements, or search by their name or address. The
online service provides a payment confirmation and printable
receipt. Payments can be made online until 11:59 p.m. on October
17.
Buckner says now is a good time to pay taxes online and avoid
standing in line the week of October 17. “Our office and tax
collector locations around the state typically have lines in the
days leading up to the deadline. No matter where you live, it’s
much easier to visit www.ar.gov/tax and pay your property taxes in
just a few mouse clicks or taps on your phone.”
While paying property taxes online, residents in many counties
can also sign up to receive an email notification in March when
their annual tax statement is available. Taxpayers who sign up for
this new convenience will no longer receive annual tax statements
in the mail, but will still get paper statements if their taxes are
adjusted throughout the year. Buckner says going paperless is the
easiest way for taxpayers to find and pay their tax bill
online.
Citizens who pay their taxes online will also have the
opportunity to sign up for Gov2Go, the first-of-its-kind, personal
government assistant that tracks assessment, property tax, and
vehicle registration renewal deadlines and enables citizens to
quickly complete all these tasks right from their smartphones.
Pulaski County residents who choose to visit the tax collector
offices can avoid the lines by using a self-service iPad kiosk to
pay their property tax bill with a credit card and get an email
receipt.
