Baxter County (Arkansas) Collector: Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption

The exemption is the State's, under section 26-3-306, as the Arkansas entry on the disabled veteran property tax exemption explains: no tax on the home, its land and personal property for a veteran VA rates 100% permanent and total or pays special monthly compensation for the loss or loss of use of a limb or blindness, carried on by an unremarried surviving spouse and minor children. The county's page. The Collector's page explains collection (taxes run from the first business day of March to October 15, with a 10% penalty after) but says nothing about the disabled veteran exemption or how to claim it. Ask the Collector's office, or have the Veterans Services office (870-425-8155) help with the VA letter. The letter. Act 876 of 2025 added to section 26-3-306(b) that the VA letter "is required to be submitted only one (1) time" and that "annual submission of a letter from the department is not required", from the 2025 assessment year, so long as you tell the collector if you stop qualifying or move. File again for a new home. The office. Collector Teresa Smith, 8 East 7th Street, Mountain Home; 870-425-8300, fax 870-425-3565.
