Arkansas Property Tax Calculator
Figure basis: Official US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimatesThis Arkansas property tax calculator estimates the annual property tax on a home using the state's median effective property tax rate, which the US Census Bureau reports as 0.57% of a home's value. Enter a home value to see the estimated yearly property tax at that median rate. The Census figure is derived from the median real estate taxes paid in Arkansas ($1,003) divided by the median home value ($175,300), from the American Community Survey 5-year estimates. Property tax in the United States is set locally, not by the state, so your actual rate depends on your county, city, school district and any special districts, and on how your property is assessed. Two homes of the same value in different counties of Arkansas can have noticeably different bills. Use this as a sound statewide benchmark, then check your county assessor for your property's assessed value and the exact local millage rate, plus any homestead or senior exemptions you qualify for. The median real estate taxes and median home value here are official Census figures; the effective rate is the simple, disclosed ratio of the two.
Arkansas's median effective property tax rate is 0.57% of home value (Census: median tax $1,003 on a median home worth $175,300). On a $400,000 home that is about $2,280 a year.
How Arkansas property tax is estimated
estimated annual property tax = home value x effective rate / 100
Arkansas median effective rate = median real estate taxes / median home value x 100
= $1,003 / $175,300 x 100 = 0.57%
Property tax is levied by local governments, so your exact rate is set by your county and municipality, not the state. The median rate above is a benchmark; check your county assessor for the assessed value and local millage that apply to your home.
Property tax by county in Arkansas
Property tax is set locally, so the statewide median above hides a wide spread. These are the US Census Bureau's median figures for all 75 counties in Arkansas: the median home value, the median real estate taxes actually paid, and the effective rate (taxes divided by value). The spread runs from Stone County at 0.32% to Phillips County at 0.81%, against a state median of 0.57%. Click a column heading to sort.

How Amendment 79 keeps Arkansas bills low
Arkansas keeps property taxes modest (a 0.57% median effective rate, a $1,003 bill on a $175,300 home) partly by taxing only a slice of value: real property is assessed at 20% of appraised market value statewide. On top of that, Amendment 79 to the state constitution gives homeowners two protections that many neighboring states lack.
First, Amendment 79 caps how fast the taxable assessed value of a homestead can rise after a reappraisal, at 5% per year for an owner-occupied home (10% for other property), so a sharp jump in market value is phased in gradually rather than hitting your bill all at once. Second, it freezes the taxable assessed value of the homestead for owners who are 65 or older or who are disabled, locking in the value as of the year they qualify. Combined with the statewide homestead property tax credit, which subtracts a flat amount from the bill on a principal residence, these rules keep effective rates low and predictable.
Because millage is set by counties, cities, and school districts, your rate can sit above or below 0.57%. Reappraisal cycles also differ by county, so a recent countywide reappraisal can change your assessment even in a year when your millage does not. Confirm your assessed value, homestead credit, and any Amendment 79 freeze with your county assessor.
Arkansas property tax: frequently asked questions
What is the property tax rate in Arkansas?
The median effective property tax rate in Arkansas is 0.57% of a home's value, based on US Census Bureau data (median real estate taxes of $1,003 on a median home value of $175,300). On a $400,000 home that is about $2,280 a year. Your actual rate depends on your county and municipality.
How is Arkansas property tax calculated?
Property tax is your home's assessed value multiplied by the combined local tax rate (millage) set by your county, city, school district and other local bodies. This calculator estimates it from the Arkansas median effective rate of 0.57%; for an exact figure, use your county assessor's assessed value and local millage.
Why is Arkansas's property tax different from my neighbour's?
Property tax is local, not statewide. Rates and assessment practices vary by county, city and school district, and exemptions (such as homestead exemptions) differ. The 0.57% here is the Arkansas statewide median effective rate from the Census; individual bills vary above and below it.
Where does the Arkansas property tax data come from?
From the US Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates (2023): table B25103 (median real estate taxes paid) and B25077 (median home value). The effective rate is taxes divided by value. The figures are verified as at Jun 25, 2026.
