St. Francis 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. In St. Francis County the Sheriff is the collector: the county's Collector page and the Sheriff's Tax Collector page both have checks made payable to "Bobby May Sheriff and Collector", explain mailed payments (postmarked by October 16 to avoid the 10% penalty) and refuse personal checks for delinquent personal property taxes, and neither says anything about the disabled veteran exemption. Bring the VA letter to the Collector's office, or have the veterans service office (870-261-1702) help with it. The Assessor, Ginadell Adams ((870) 261-1710), handles the homestead credit.
