How to appeal your Fayetteville property taxes

Fayetteville is home to the University of Arkansas and one of the most active real estate markets in the state. Washington County assessments frequently outpace actual market values during cooling periods, and Ark. Code §26-27-317 sets the appeal deadline at the third Monday in August. We are not selling Arkansas appeal kits this season — we open for 2027.

📅
The 2026 Washington County appeal window has closed
Per Arkansas Code §26-27-317, an appeal to the Washington County Board of Equalization must be postmarked by the third Monday in August — that date has passed for 2026, and the next window opens in August 2027. Postmark counts in Arkansas, so file with a few days in hand.

Why Fayetteville Homeowners Should Appeal

Washington County home values rose sharply between 2020 and 2023 driven by university demand and remote work migration. Since then the market has cooled, but assessments often take time to reflect corrections — creating gaps between assessed value and actual market value that comparable sales evidence can close.

📊

Arkansas Assesses at 20% of Market Value

If your home's market value is overstated by Washington County, your assessed value (20% of market) is inflated by the same percentage — and so is your tax bill.

📅

The Third Monday In August Is Firm

Arkansas has one fixed statewide deadline: the third Monday in August. Miss it and you wait a full year — and the 2026 date has already passed.

⚖️

No Percentage Fees — Ever

Most Arkansas consultants charge 25-40% of savings. On a $1,000 reduction that's up to $400 gone. When we open for the 2027 season our fee will be a flat $89.

How TaxAppeal Works in Fayetteville

Four minutes to order, then about five minutes to sign it and mail it.

1

We check first

We pull your Washington County property data and comparable sales, and check whether an appeal will actually lower your tax bill. If it won't, we tell you and don't sell you one.

2

We mail you the kit

Your county's equalization board appeal form filled in, comparable sales citing Arkansas Code §26-27-317 and §26-26-1901, a checklist and a return envelope addressed to the Washington County Board of Equalization. A PDF copy of the full kit is also emailed to you the same day.

3

You sign it and mail it

Sign in ink, add a stamp, and mail it so it is postmarked by the third Monday in August. The board writes to you directly.

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.
