Filing an Arkansas property tax appeal for the first time? Complete guide to the Board of Equalization process, the August 16, 2027 deadline, evidence requirements, and what to expect. TaxAppeal $89 flat.
Arkansas assessments are conducted by your county assessor. Your assessed value is set at 20% of the county appraiser's estimate of your property's fair market value. Look up your current assessment on your county assessor's website — most Arkansas counties provide searchable property records online. Compare your assessor's market value estimate to recent sale prices of similar homes in your neighborhood using Zillow, Redfin, or county recorder records.
File a written appeal with your county Board of Equalization before the August 16, 2027 postmark deadline. Your appeal should state that you are challenging the county assessor's market value estimate and provide the value you believe is correct. Include your comparable sales evidence or indicate you will present it at the hearing. Arkansas is straightforward — the BOE is a county-level body specifically designed to hear property owner complaints.
The Arkansas Board of Equalization is a county-level panel that meets annually during the appeal window (June-August) to hear property owner challenges. Hearings are informal — you present your comparable sales evidence, the assessor may respond, and the board issues a determination. Arkansas BOEs are generally accessible and receptive to homeowners presenting clear, organized evidence.
One of the most reassuring aspects of the Arkansas BOE process is that — unlike Georgia — filing an appeal does not expose you to a value increase. The BOE can only reduce or maintain your assessment. This means there is no risk in filing when you believe your property is over-assessed — the worst outcome is that your value stays the same.

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.
