This independent guide summarizes how the county’s official sites describe property tax assessment, billing, and payments. It does not provide legal or tax advice or guarantee records; use it as a roadmap and then confirm details directly with the Treasurer or Assessor.

Pulaski County Property Tax Offices and Roles

In Pulaski County, two main offices are involved in property tax: the Pulaski County Assessor establishes the taxable value of property, and the Pulaski County Treasurer bills and collects the taxes that appear on your annual statement.

The Assessor’s office asks residents to report personal property each year, generally between January 1 and May 31, so that items can be appraised. According to the Treasurer’s “Your Tax Dollars” information, ad valorem property taxes are based on a taxable value that is typically 20% of the Assessor’s appraised value multiplied by the local millage rate, and failing to assess personal property by the deadline can result in an assessment penalty. Questions about how a property was valued or how exemptions are applied are handled by the Assessor, including exemption inquiries that are routed through the Assessor’s Exemptions Department at 501-340-3350 or the Assessor’s main line at 501-340-6181.

The Pulaski County Treasurer’s office focuses on billing, collecting, and distributing property tax revenue. The Treasurer collects personal property and real estate taxes, along with amounts listed on the bill for city liens, sanitation charges, and special improvement district (SID) assessments, and then distributes those funds to schools, county and city services, road and bridge projects, libraries, and Arkansas Children’s Hospital. The Treasurer also keeps detailed records of receipts and disbursements and prepares the official list of delinquent property taxes.

For everyday questions, contact the Assessor if you are unsure whether your property is assessed correctly, believe an exemption such as a Homestead Tax Credit or Disabled Veterans (DAV) relief may apply, or want to understand appraised value. Contact the Treasurer if you need to confirm how much you owe, review how a recent payment was posted, see how city liens or SID amounts appear on your bill, or discuss delinquent account handling.

  • Assessor: value, classification, and exemptions on personal property and real estate.
  • Treasurer: billing amounts, payment posting, penalties, and interest on delinquent property taxes.
  • Assessor Exemptions Department: questions about non-DAV exemptions, at 501-340-3350.
  • Treasurer delinquent staff: questions about advertised delinquent parcels or certification to the Commissioner of State Lands.

Finding Your Pulaski County Property Tax Bill Online

The primary lookup tools for Pulaski County property taxes are the Treasurer’s “Pay Taxes / Inquiry” pages, available both as a desktop Pulaski Public Application and a Pulaski Mobile Public Application. These tools let you view current amounts due and, in many cases, see prior-year activity tied to a parcel.

Search is designed to work best when you start with the most precise identifiers. The mobile application explicitly allows searches by Parcel Number and Taxpayer ID (PIN) as the primary options. If you do not have those, you can search using the taxpayer’s last name followed by first name, a mailing address, or the property street address. A parcel number or PIN generally returns a single property record, while name or address searches can bring back a list that you need to narrow by matching owner or location.

To begin an online search, use the Treasurer’s tax system and choose the “Pay Taxes / Inquiry” function. From there you can search and view your property tax account online for both personal property and real estate, then drill into the correct parcel to see detailed billing information.

Once you locate a parcel, the public applications display the parcel identifier alongside the owner name or address and show the amount currently due. Screens also list any “Dependencies” and similar line items that must be paid along with the base tax, and you can move parcels into a cart for checkout. The desktop site offers separate “Pay Taxes / Inquiry” and “Delinquent Inquiry” options so that you can quickly check either regular or past-due balances.

  • Parcel or PIN lookup: best when you have your tax statement handy.
  • Name search: useful if you do not know the parcel number but know the owner.
  • Address search: helpful when confirming the bill for a specific property location.
  • Delinquent inquiry: focused on past-due parcels and their penalties and interest.

The Treasurer notes that payment receipts and duplicate bills can be accessed through the same Pay Taxes/Tax Inquiry tools. After payments have posted, you can view and print receipts for a parcel, which many taxpayers use for mortgage escrow documentation or when gathering records for IRS tax filing. If a recent payment does not yet appear, allow time for posting or contact the Treasurer to confirm the current status.

Payment Options for Pulaski County Property Taxes

Pulaski County offers a wide range of payment methods so you can choose what fits your situation: online card or digital wallet payments, low-fee eChecks, mobile payments, phone payments, mail, in-person payments, drop boxes, Walmart Bill Pay, and payments initiated through your own bank’s bill-pay system. The Treasurer emphasizes that additional charges are added by the electronic payment processors and that Pulaski County does not receive any portion of those fees.

On the main online tax payment system, the county accepts major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and eChecks. A portal administration fee applies to these electronic payments, and current information on the Treasurer’s site highlights a reduced eCheck fee of around twenty-five cents per transaction, promoted as cheaper than mailing a check. Card and digital-wallet payments generally carry higher processing charges than eChecks, and all of these fees are paid to the payment processor, not to Pulaski County.

Taxpayers who prefer to pay by phone can use a dedicated payment line at 1-833-277-8725. Phone payments are available in English and Spanish and require that you provide your parcel number. The Treasurer’s payment information also lists a customer service number at 1-800-420-1663 for help using the online or mobile payment options.

In-person payments are accepted at the Pulaski County Administration Building, 201 South Broadway, Suite 150, in Little Rock. The Treasurer asks that checks be written in dark blue or black ink. For those who do not need face-to-face service but still want to hand-deliver a payment, there are drop boxes outside the Administration Building on Second Street between Spring and Broadway and at the building’s guard station. Drop box payments must be checks or money orders (no cash), should include your parcel number, and may take up to 24 hours to post.

If you pay by mail, the Treasurer directs taxpayers with an original bill coupon to send checks or money orders to Pulaski County Treasurer, PO Box 8101, Little Rock, AR 72203. If you no longer have the payment coupon, mail the payment to Pulaski County Treasurer, PO Box 430, Little Rock, AR 72203, and clearly write your parcel or account number on the check or money order. Checks for mailed and drop box payments should also be written in dark blue or black ink.

Other options include Scan to Pay and Walmart Bill Pay. When using Scan to Pay, you select a cash option in the online cart, choose a participating location, and receive a barcode to present when paying with cash. Walmart locations accept in-person payments by cash or debit, and the Treasurer notes that these payments post the same day when you provide both the parcel number and the bill amount. You can also initiate payments through your bank’s online bill-pay service, but you must create a separate payee for each parcel number and allow several days of lead time for the bank to transmit the funds. The Treasurer’s site also warns residents to watch out for scams and makes clear that the office does not contract with private individuals to collect property taxes.

Property Tax Due Dates and Bill Status

Pulaski County’s property tax information explains that ad valorem taxes are billed one year behind based on the Assessor’s valuation and the applicable millage rates. Personal property must be assessed with the Pulaski County Assessor by May 31 each year, and failing to assess can lead to a 10% assessment penalty applied to the total assessed value. For a broader statewide overview of how county property taxes fit into Arkansas law and practice, some users also consult Arkansas Property Tax in addition to the local Treasurer and Assessor resources.

According to the Treasurer’s FAQs, property taxes are due when you receive the bill and become delinquent after October 15. Mailed payments that are postmarked on October 15 and internet or phone payments completed by 11:59 p.m. on October 15 are credited as on time and avoid penalties and interest. Once the October deadline passes, bills move into delinquent status, and the online system’s “Delinquent Inquiry” feature is used to review those balances.

The Treasurer allows current-year taxes to be paid in installments, and tax statements include three suggested payment amounts to help you break the bill into parts. However, all past-due taxes must be paid in full, and the FAQs explain that delinquent charges or special improvement district assessments included on the first installment coupon must be satisfied before current-year installments can be credited correctly.

Tax bills may include separate charges for city liens, sanitation fees, and special improvement district taxes in addition to the base ad valorem tax. The “Dependencies” column in the online system reflects amounts that must be paid alongside your main property tax; if those dependent charges are not paid, your overall account may still show an amount due even after you have paid the basic property tax line.

The Treasurer’s information also points to savings programs that can change how much you owe. The Homestead Tax Credit and Disabled Veterans (DAV) exemption are handled through dedicated resources referenced on the Treasurer’s site, and other exemptions (such as for certain nonprofit or religious properties) are handled by the Assessor’s Exemptions Department at 501-340-3350. These programs can reduce the taxable value used to calculate ad valorem taxes or apply credits directly to the bill, so it is important to confirm with the Assessor or the dedicated program materials how any approved exemption is reflected on your statement.

Delinquent Taxes and Next Steps in Pulaski County

When Pulaski County taxes are not paid by the October 15 deadline, the Treasurer’s FAQs explain that a late penalty of 10% of the base tax amount is added. The Treasurer also charges an advertising fee on delinquent accounts, listed as $1.75 for personal property and $1.50 for real estate. For delinquent real estate parcels, interest accrues daily at an annual rate of 10% until the balance is paid.

The online tax system includes a “Delinquent Inquiry” option that lets you look up past-due parcels and review penalties, interest, and other charges. While current-year taxes can be paid in installments, the FAQs make clear that all past-due taxes must be paid in full, so partial payments will not clear a delinquent balance until the full amount, including penalties and interest, has been satisfied. Because delinquent accounts can involve multiple years and special assessments, it is often helpful to check the detailed bill and then contact the Treasurer directly with any questions.

The Treasurer’s “Treasury” information notes that the office prepares a list of delinquent property taxes for publication in a newspaper. This public listing is part of the county’s process for managing unpaid property taxes, and it is based on the delinquent records that the Treasurer keeps for each parcel.

For real estate parcels that remain delinquent for more than two years, the Treasurer’s description states that they are certified to the Arkansas Commissioner of State Lands. After certification, the Commissioner of State Lands manages the next steps under Arkansas law, which can include additional fees and procedures. Property owners facing this stage should work closely with both the Treasurer and the state office to understand what options may still be available.

The FAQs also explain what happens when delinquent property has been sent to the State Land Commission and is later redeemed. The Treasurer’s delinquent department must wait to receive a filed copy from the Pulaski County Clerk, which can take up to two weeks; once that documentation is received, the office issues a bill for any current-year taxes still due. If a property is redeemed roughly a week to a week and a half before the October 15 deadline, the delinquent department issues the current-year bill with a 30-day window to pay without penalties and interest.

Because delinquent situations can involve penalty calculations, interest, certification to the Commissioner of State Lands, or redemption timing, the Treasurer encourages taxpayers to contact the office directly rather than relying only on general information. Calling the main Treasurer number or using the site’s contact form is usually the fastest way to confirm what is owed and what steps come next for a particular parcel.
