What the figures are
This page reproduces the Assessment Coordination Division's average millage for each county: the average school district millage, average city total, average county total and average overall total, in mills. The report's county pages list one overall total per school district and city (or rural) combination; Section I averages those, and each column is averaged over its own set of combinations, so the overall average is not the sum of the other three. Period: 2025 millage levies, collected in 2026, from the Assessment Coordination Division's March 2026 report.
- The report itself says the data is "intended for general information purposes only" and: "All data unaudited and gathered from sources which are thought to be reliable, but the reader should not assume the data is official, final or more than an approximation." These are the Division's published averages, not official final levies; the millage on a bill is the county collector's figure for the property's school district and city.
- The legend says "The millage rates presented here are given as incremental totals" and the state row is the "Average of per County average". Because the four columns are averaged over different combinations, Overall is not School + City + County; no figure on this page adds them.
- Mills apply to assessed value. Arkansas assesses property at a percentage of market value, but that percentage was not read from an official source for this page, so no example bill is given.

How to appeal an assessment in Arkansas
- Apply to the County Board of Equalization: "The application must be made by the third Monday in August every year.".
- The board's decision notice states the deadline for petitioning the County Court for a hearing: the board sends its decision within ten business days of the hearing.
The procedures document does not describe the step after County Court, so this page does not either. Sources: Arkansas Assessment Coordination Division, County Boards of Equalization Model Uniform Hearing Procedures (Form E-4, 7/31/19), read October 26, 2026.

Questions
What is the property tax rate in Arkansas?
Arkansas publishes no single rate. This page reproduces the Assessment Coordination Division's average millage for each county: the average school district millage, average city total, average county total and average overall total, in mills. For 2025 (2026 collections) it runs from 41.17 mills in Scott County to 59.56 mills in Pulaski County; the median county is 49.46 mills.
Which Arkansas county has the highest average overall total millage?
Pulaski County, at 59.56 mills, among the 75 counties ranked here; Scott County is lowest at 41.17 mills. These are county figures, so a single property's rate can be higher or lower.
Is the average overall total millage the rate on my tax bill?
No. It is the Assessment Coordination Division's average millage for each county: the average school district millage, average city total, average county total and average overall total, in mills. The report itself says the data is "intended for general information purposes only" and: "All data unaudited and gathered from sources which are thought to be reliable, but the reader should not assume the data is official, final or more than an approximation." These are the Division's published averages, not official final levies; the millage on a bill is the county collector's figure for the property's school district and city.
How do school district and county figures compare in Arkansas?
In 75 of the 75 counties ranked here the school district figure is higher than the county figure. The median school district figure is 38.88 and the median county figure 8.40; the widest gap is in Crittenden County (44.23 against 5.36).
How do I appeal a property assessment in Arkansas?
Apply to the County Board of Equalization: "The application must be made by the third Monday in August every year." The board's decision notice states the deadline for petitioning the County Court for a hearing: the board sends its decision within ten business days of the hearing.
