LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
The statewide personal and real estate property tax payment deadline is
October 15. Citizens in 54 Arkansas counties can avoid late fees and
in-person payment lines by paying their property taxes online or over
the phone before the deadline. A directory of participating counties and
secure mobile payment sites is available at www.ar.gov/tax.
“County taxes fund our schools, hospitals, libraries, jails and county
government, and it’s important that citizens realize their property
taxes directly support their communities,” Pulaski County Treasurer
Debra Buckner said. “Pulaski County provides 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 15.
Buckner says now is a good time to pay taxes online and avoid standing
in line the week of October 15. “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 www.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,
Arkansas’ new Personal Government Assistant app that tracks their
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.
