Property values fluctuate and in central Arkansas have historically risen steadily, but if you feel strongly that your property is not valued correctly, you can appeal your re-appraisal.  Here is the link to the Assessor's office web site.   You can also fill out an online real property appeal form to appeal an appraisal/assessment. 

You will need some evidence to support your arguments, such as comparable sales since 2006.  That information can be searched for through the Lookup Property link which is located in the left column of the website. 

 

Here are some helpful phone numbers and email addresses:

If you are a resident over the age of 65, you can apply for a Value Freeze.  This allows the property tax bill to remain at the same amount and not increase with subsequent re-appraisals.

Also known as Amendment 79, the Homestead Tax Exemption provides a tax credit for property owners on their homestead (your primary residence) property.  There are only two requirements for eligibility: 1) The property is your primary residence (where you live six months or more per year) and 2) You are the owner of record.
