Desha 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. 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 pages. The Collector and Assessor share a site, deshatax.org, whose welcome page names Lisa Hutchison as Collector and Jessica Ferguson as Assessor and gives "870-222-0927 for the Assessor or 870-222-2525 for the Collector"; its contacts page lists Chief Deputy Collector Valerie White ([email protected]) and Deputy Collector Cindy Drake.
