The process
How Arkansas handles appeals.
Your county assessor values property as of January 1, with countywide reappraisals running on multi-year cycles. If the number looks wrong, you petition the county Board of Equalization — boards sit starting August 1, and hearing requests are due by the third Monday in August. The board hears your evidence of market value and can adjust on the spot; further appeals go to county court. Because reappraisal years reset values across the whole county at once, that’s when errors cluster and when an appeal is most worth checking.
Worth knowing in Arkansas
Arkansas assesses at 20% of market value, and Amendment 79 caps how fast a homestead’s taxable assessed value can rise — so after a reappraisal, check whether your market value or your capped value is doing the work. The appeal itself contests the market value, and comparable sales as of January 1 are the evidence the board acts on.
