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 Tax Collector's page: "Disabled Veterans and widows of disabled veterans will need to send in their Award letter to receive their exemptions. (Award letters received after the October 15th deadline will not be accepted for that year's taxes)". So send the letter before October 15 of the year whose taxes you want exempted; under Act 876 you send it once, not every year, unless you move or stop qualifying. The tax books are open March 1 to October 15, with installments due April 15, July 15 and October 15. The veterans service office ((479) 738-6537) can help get the letter. The office.
