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 pages. The Collector page says the office's "primary function is to collect personal property and real estate taxes", phone 870.347.5152, and names nobody; the Assessor page (Leslie Collins, 870.347.5151) covers listing and valuation. Neither says anything about the exemption. Bring the VA letter to the Collector, or have the Veteran's Office (870-347-5091) help with it. The office. The Association of Arkansas Counties lists Phil Reynolds as both Sheriff and Collector, the collector's line (870) 347-5152, P.O. Box 555, Augusta, AR 72006; the State portal's Woodruff County page also names him as Collector, at 500 N 3rd St, Augusta.
