State Overview
Property Taxes in Arkansas
Arkansas taxes less than most states
Arkansas homeowners pay an effective property tax rate of 0.532%, less than half the national median of 1.03%, ranking the state 5th lowest in the nation. This means Arkansas is among the most tax-friendly states for property owners, a significant advantage for households buying or maintaining a home here.
County rates range from Stone to Pulaski
Effective tax rates across Arkansas's 75 counties span from 0.353% in Stone County to 0.783% in Pulaski County, a 2.2-fold variation that reflects differences in local assessment and mill levy practices. Even this wider gap remains well below the national median, meaning Arkansas's highest-taxed county still undercuts most U.S. averages.
Typical Arkansas homeowner pays $705 yearly
The median Arkansas home costs $131,967 and carries an annual property tax bill of $705—less than one-quarter the national median tax of $2,690. For a homeowner buying a house near the state median, that translates to monthly property tax costs of roughly $59, a burden substantially lighter than the national typical.
Metro areas carry higher tax bills
Benton County (suburban northwest Arkansas) leads the state with a $1,731 median tax bill, while Pulaski County (Little Rock metro) ranks second at $1,562, both driven by higher home values in growing urban areas. Rural counties like Monroe ($405) and Lee ($409) have the lowest tax bills, reflecting smaller home values and lower assessment bases in less-populated regions.
Arkansas offers low-tax living nationwide
Arkansas ranks among America's lowest-tax states for property owners, with rates barely half the national median and annual bills under $1,000 for most households. Homebuyers and retirees seeking affordability will find Arkansas particularly attractive; those relying on property tax revenue for schools or services face tighter budgets than in higher-tax states.
