Property owners in Boone and Marion Counties along with several other north-central Arkansas counties are receiving notices showing updated real-estate values following the 2026 reappraisal.
Some owners may eventually pay higher property taxes because assessed values have increased.
A state law passed in 2023 requires Arkansas counties to appraise real estate at current market value at least once every four years. Boone, Baxter, Marion, Izard and Stone counties were among those completing reappraisals this year.
Assessors have attributed much of the increase to sharply rising home prices during the past four years. Population growth and the arrival of new residents have also contributed to higher market values in several communities.
Arkansas Amendment 79 limits how quickly taxable values can increase following a countywide reappraisal. Those limits can reduce the immediate effect of a large market-value increase, although the exact impact varies by property and exemption status.
Property owners who believe an appraisal is incorrect may use the county appeals process. They should review the deadline listed on their notice and gather relevant information such as recent comparable sales, photographs or records showing property condition.
The increased amounts displayed on current notices will affect taxes due in 2027 rather than creating an immediate bill. Boone County property owners can contact the assessor’s office at 870-741-3783 or visit the office at 220 Arbor Drive in Harrison for additional information. In Marion County, call 870-449-4113 or visit 301 E. Main St. in Yellville.
