Arkansas Investment Property Tax Appeal 2026

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 — August 17 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
• ✓Hot Springs lakefront rentals: Significant over-assessments common; strong appeal grounds
• ✓Multiple properties: File $89 per property — compound savings across portfolio
