Arkansas Investment Property Tax Appeal 2027
Arkansas rental property owners can appeal property taxes just like homeowners. No filing fee, no two-way risk, postmark August 16, 2027 deadline. TaxAppeal USA: $89 ready-to-sign kit.
Arkansas real estate investors and rental property owners have the same right to appeal their county assessment as homeowner-occupants. Investment properties — rental homes, duplexes, commercial-residential, and vacation rentals — are assessed at 20% of market value annually. Unlike Georgia (where filing risks an increase) or Florida (where there is no Save Our Homes cap), Arkansas's BOE process is investor-friendly: no filing fee, no two-way review risk, and a postmark deadline that gives you until August 16, 2027 to file.
How Investment Properties Are Assessed in Arkansas
Non-homestead investment properties in Arkansas are assessed at 20% of their assessed market value, the same ratio as primary residences. Unlike Texas (which has no homestead cap for investment properties) or Georgia (which has no exemption), Arkansas's relatively flat assessment structure means investment and primary residence properties are treated similarly. The appeal process is identical.
✓20% assessment ratio: Same for investment and primary residence properties
✓No homestead exemption: Investment properties do not qualify for the $375 credit
✓Annual appeal right: File each year during the June 1 — third Monday in August window
✓No two-way risk: Arkansas BOE cannot raise your assessment for filing an appeal
When Investment Property Appeals Make Sense
The appeal math in Arkansas at a 0.6% effective rate means the absolute annual savings are smaller than in Texas or Florida. But a successful appeal reduces your baseline for every future year, and investors with multiple properties can file for each one. The $89 flat fee per property pays for itself on any over-assessment above approximately $14,800 at a 0.6% effective rate.
✓Break-even: Any over-assessment above ~$14,800 at 0.6% makes TaxAppeal worthwhile
✓NWA properties: High values mean large dollar reductions are common
✓Multiple properties: File $89 per property — compound savings across portfolio

Frequently Asked Questions
Can rental property owners appeal Arkansas property taxes? ▾
Yes. Any Arkansas property owner can appeal their county assessment, including investment and rental property owners.
Is there a two-way review risk for Arkansas investment property appeals? ▾
No. Arkansas BOE cannot increase your assessment for filing an appeal — it can only reduce or maintain. This is a significant advantage over Georgia.
Does TaxAppeal serve Arkansas investors with multiple properties? ▾
Yes. TaxAppeal USA prepares one appeal kit per property at $89 each. Investors with 3, 5, or 10 Arkansas properties can order a kit for each one.
What is the Arkansas investment property appeal deadline? ▾
August 16, 2027. Arkansas postmark deadline — same as homestead properties.
Do investment properties qualify for the Arkansas $375 homestead credit? ▾
No. The $375 homestead credit only applies to primary residences. Investment properties are assessed and taxed without exemption offset.
Are Hot Springs vacation rental properties over-assessed? ▾
Frequently. Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine vacation rental properties have limited comparable sales and investor purchase prices that reflect rental income potential — creating over-assessment conditions for market value appeals.

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.
