Scott 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 page. The Collector's page, under "Disabled Veteran (DAV) Information": "Disabled Veterans who receive a form from the Veteran's Administration Office are encouraged to bring their forms as soon as they receive them in order for their statement to reflect the correct information. In order to receive a full credit on your personal taxes (vehicle(s)) and real estate taxes (residence only) you must be considered totally and permanently disabled due to your service-disconnected disabilities We keep a file which must be updated annually and must receive a form each year for this entitlement." Two corrections: the State test is a service-connected 100% permanent and total rating (or special monthly compensation for the loss or loss of use of a limb or blindness), and since Act 876 of 2025 the letter is filed once, not every year. Ask the office to update your file under the new rule.
