MELBOURNE, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
Paying property taxes in Izard County, Arkansas, just got a lot easier
thanks to a new online payment system offered by tax collector Marilyn
Downing. Residents can now avoid a trip to the Collector’s Office by
visiting ar.gov/izardtax
and pay their taxes online with just a few clicks on their desktop
computers or mobile phones. By entering or searching parcel numbers to
begin, taxpayers are guided by the online system through a series of
secure payment screens and are quickly provided with a payment
confirmation and a receipt for their records.
“We are thrilled to offer this convenient and mobile-friendly payment
option to our taxpayers,” Izard County Tax Collector Marilyn Downing
said. “We want to make it easier for people to pay their taxes quickly
and avoid delinquency, and this online payment system makes that
possible.” Downing noted that while she expects the online payment
option to be popular, tax payments are still accepted in person or by
mail.
The Izard County Tax Collector partnered with the state’s digital
government service provider, Information Network of Arkansas (INA), to
develop the secure payment system, which ensures privacy, security, and
data integrity. Credit card transactions include a processing fee to
cover the cost of the system, which INA developed for the county free of
charge.
Izard County personal property and real estate taxes are due March 1 and
considered delinquent after October 15. Residents and business owners
can pay their county taxes online at ar.gov/izardtax
with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express credit card, or
by electronic check through a secure payment processing system. Payments
can also be made in person at the Izard County Tax Collector’s office or
by mail.
