Arkansas Homeowners: The deadline to file the Homestead Credit Application or freeze for the 2025 tax bill is October 15th. This is a tax credit up to $600.
To qualify for the credit:
• Primary Residence: The property must be your principal place of residence.
• Ownership: You must be the owner.
• Only one homestead tax credit can be claimed per person each year.
Homeowners who are 65 years or older or legally disabled may be eligible for an additional benefit. This includes a “freeze” on the taxable assessed value of their homestead property, preventing increases in assessed value due to market fluctuations. However, the assessed value may increase if there is new construction or substantial improvements made to the property. The tax amount can increase due a millage rate change also.
