Sherwood is northeast Pulaski County's most established suburb, known for its military ties to Little Rock Air Force Base and its stable residential neighborhoods. Pulaski County's county-wide assessment models often apply market-wide trends that don't account for Sherwood's specific neighborhood-level conditions and lot variations. Appeals go to the Pulaski County Board of Equalization by the third Monday in August. Our Arkansas appeal kit is not on sale this season — we open for 2027.

Arkansas assesses property at 20% of fair market value — when that estimate is wrong, you overpay every year until you appeal.
The Pulaski County Assessor values thousands of properties using statistical models that apply broad market trends across entire neighborhoods. Your home's specific condition, lot features, and location nuances are often missed — leading to inflated assessments that cost you money every year.
With a median home value of $230,000 in Sherwood, even a 5% over-assessment means roughly $14 in excess annual taxes. Appealing is one of the highest-ROI decisions a Pulaski County homeowner can make.
Under Ark. Code §26-27-317, every Pulaski County homeowner can protest before the Board of Equalization by the third Monday in August. Miss that window and you wait a full year. TaxAppeal USA prepares the form and the evidence; you sign it and mail it.
We compare your Sherwood value with comparable sales in Pulaski County and run your bill through Amendment 79 and the other caps. If an appeal won't lower your bill by more than our $89 fee, we tell you and don't sell you one.

The Pulaski County Board of Equalization (BOE) is a three-member panel appointed by the county judge. It hears valuation protests in August and is an informal process — you present evidence and the BOE decides.
Arkansas residential property is assessed at 20% of fair market value. So the fight is really about the market value estimate — every dollar of reduction at market value translates directly to a lower tax bill.
Amendment 79 caps homestead assessment increases at 5% per year, regardless of how much the market rises. For homeowners age 65 and older, the assessed value is frozen entirely — it cannot increase as long as you remain in your home.
Even with Amendment 79 protection, appealing makes sense: a successful appeal lowers your base value, which reduces the ceiling that future 5% increases compound from — and can unlock additional savings every year. We check your current assessed value alongside your Amendment 79 history before selling you a kit.
Most Arkansas property tax appeal firms charge a percentage of your first-year savings — every year. Here is how our fee will compare when we open. Nothing is being sold on this page today.

TaxAppeal USA is a self-service document-preparation service. We prepare a ready-to-sign appeal kit and mail it to you; you sign it and mail it to the county yourself. In every state we serve, including Florida, we are not property tax consultants, agents, or representatives, we do not provide tax or legal advice, and we do not file appeals or represent customers before any appraisal district, board of assessors, board of equalization, value adjustment board, or review board. Every appeal, protest and petition is prepared for the property owner, signed by the owner, and mailed by the owner in the owner’s name. In Florida your petition is signed by you as the property owner under section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes, and the county’s Value Adjustment Board filing fee is paid by you directly to the county. TaxAppeal USA does not sign as your representative, does not appear before the Board, and does not present evidence or argument at a hearing.
