Craighead County is home to Jonesboro — Arkansas's third-largest city and home to Arkansas State University. The A-State Red Wolves and a growing healthcare sector (St. Bernards Medical Center, NEA Baptist) make Jonesboro the economic hub of northeast Arkansas. The Craighead County Assessor manages a market that has experienced appreciation tied to healthcare employment growth and ASU expansion, with student rental demand creating unique comparable dynamics for primary residence homeowners. The 2027 appeal deadline is August 16, 2027.

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.
