Filing an Arkansas property tax appeal for the first time? Complete guide to the Board of Equalization process, the August 17 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 17 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 and mail filing service. 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 represent customers before any appraisal district, board of equalization, value adjustment board, or review board. Every protest and petition is prepared for the property owner, signed by the owner, and filed in the owner’s name. In Florida we also pay your county’s Value Adjustment Board filing fee on your behalf and mail your petition to the Clerk of the Value Adjustment Board. Your petition is signed by you as the property owner under section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes. TaxAppeal USA does not sign as your representative, does not appear before the Board, and does not present evidence or argument at a hearing.
