LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
The statewide personal and real estate property tax payment deadline is
October 16. Citizens in 57 Arkansas counties can avoid late fees and
in-person payment lines by paying their property taxes online before the
deadline. A directory of participating counties and secure mobile
payment sites is available at ar.gov/tax.
“Excellence in our ongoing innovation via INA gives our customers what
they deserve. It’s important that citizens realize that their property
taxes directly support their communities. Funding for our schools,
libraries, jails, county government, and hospital is made possible by
property taxes,” Pulaski County Treasurer Debra Buckner said. “Pulaski
County is proud to provide an online property tax payment service
through our partnership with the Information Network of Arkansas. We
introduced this payment option years ago and it has been extremely
helpful in getting tax payments in on time.”
To make a secure payment on a computer or mobile device, taxpayers just
need to enter the parcel or tax-id numbers provided on their tax
statements, or search by their name or address. The online service
provides a payment confirmation and printable receipt. Payments can be
made online until 11:59 p.m. October 16.
Buckner says now is a good time to pay taxes online and avoid standing
in line the week of October 16. “Our office and tax collector locations
around the state typically have lines in the days leading up to the
deadline. No matter where you live, it’s much easier to visit ar.gov/tax
and pay your property taxes in just a few mouse clicks or taps on your
phone.”
While paying property taxes online, residents in many counties can also
sign up to receive an email notification in March when their annual tax
statement is available. Taxpayers who sign up for this new convenience
will no longer receive annual tax statements in the mail, but will still
get paper statements if their taxes are adjusted throughout the year.
Buckner says going paperless is the easiest way for taxpayers to find
and pay their tax bill online.
Citizens who pay their taxes online will also have the opportunity to
sign up for Gov2Go,
the first-of-its-kind, personal assistant for government, that tracks
assessment, property tax, and vehicle registration renewal deadlines and
enables citizens to quickly complete all these tasks right from their
smartphones.
Pulaski County residents who choose to visit the tax collector offices
can avoid the lines by using a self-service iPad kiosk to pay their
property tax bill with a credit card and get an email receipt.
