ST. FRANCIS COUNTY, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
It will be easier than ever for residents of St. Francis County to pay
their property and real estate taxes this year. The Tax Collector’s
Office today announced that it is taking credit card payments, meaning
residents can pay their taxes from any smartphone, tablet or computer at ar.gov/stfrancisproptax.
“We are always looking for cost-effective ways to make the tax payment
process easier for citizens,” St. Francis County Tax Collector Bobby May
said. “I am proud to offer our residents a convenient way to pay their
taxes online, from wherever they are, and avoid delinquent fees.”
May said taxpayers can also sign up for a service called eNotify when
paying their tax bill online. After registering, eNotify will alert
taxpayers by email when their statements are ready, saving the county
the costs of paper, postage and manpower used in mailing out forms.
The St. Francis County Tax Collector partnered with the state’s
eGovernment service provider, Information Network of Arkansas (INA), to
develop the secure payment system to ensure privacy, security and data
integrity. Credit card transactions include a minimal processing fee to
cover the cost of the system, which INA developed for the county at no
cost through its self-funded model. INA provides online property tax
payment services for 52 other Arkansas counties.
St. Francis County personal property and real estate taxes are due March
1 and delinquent after October 15, 2015. Residents can pay online by
going to ar.gov/stfrancisproptax
to look up their Tax Payer number. The system will prompt residents
through payment screens and provide a confirmation and receipt page for
their records. Payments may also continue to be made in person at the
Collector’s Office in Forrest City or by mailing a check to the St.
Francis County Tax Collector.
