Have you purchased a home recently?

Your property taxes may be different from what the previous owner paid. Under Arkansas law, when real property is sold, the county assessor must assess it at 20% of its appraised value on the next January 1 assessment date after the transfer.

The new owner is not eligible to claim assessment limitations until the second assessment date following the transfer of title.

Knowing this ahead of time can help you better plan for the costs of homeownership.

For questions about your assessed value, contact the Benton County Assessor’s Office or learn more at:
