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

The Boone County Collector, Amy Jenkins, 220 N. Arbor Drive, Harrison (870-741-6646), takes the State's disabled veteran exemption on the home and personal property; the county's page explains statements, payment and penalties but not the exemption, and since Act 876 of 2025 the VA letter is a one-time filing.

Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

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. 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 county's page. The Collector's page explains that taxes are due March 1 to October 15, that statements go out by July 1 and that personal property must be paid before real estate, but says nothing about the disabled veteran exemption. It sends taxpayers to a new site, www.boonecollector.org, which answered a security challenge when read. Ask the office, or have Veteran's Services (870-741-3640) help with the VA letter. The office. Collector Amy Jenkins, P.O. Box 1152, Harrison, AR 72602; in person at 220 N. Arbor Dr.; 870-741-6646, fax 870-741-5838, [email protected].
