Arkansas / State / 95th General Assembly, 2026 Fiscal Session

Expands benefits Raised the homestead property tax credit from $600 to $675.

Amended Ark. Code Ann. § 26-26-1118(a)(1)(A) from $600 to $675 for assessment years from January 1, 2026; approved May 1, 2026. The credit was $425 before Act 3 of the 2024 Second Extraordinary Session raised it to $500 and Act 330 of 2025 to $600. County collectors say a veteran or spouse receiving the § 26-3-306 exemption is not eligible for the credit. Flagged because the Department of Veterans Affairs property tax guide, revised October 2024, still prints $425.
