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 — making the August Board of Equalization appeal window a valuable opportunity.
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.
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.
