The exemption is the State's, under section 26-3-306, as the State's disabled veteran property tax entry explains. The Department of Veterans Affairs' property tax guide directs claimants to the local county collector's office. What the county publishes. The county's site was read in a browser on October 12, 2026: the Tax Collector's page (101 West Barraque, Suite 113, Pine Bluff; 870-541-5313, fax 870-541-5321; County Collector Tony Washington; Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the tax season runs March 1 to October 15) and the County Assessor's page (101 West Barraque, Suite 111; 870-541-5334 for personal property and 870-541-5344 for real property; Assessor Gloria Tillman) name no disabled-veteran exemption application. The Assessor's page prints the Amendment 79 homestead credit and its freeze for an owner "65 or older, or 100% disabled". A Jefferson County claimant should call the collector's office and ask what proof it wants, taking the VA summary of benefits letter.
