Who sends the property tax bill in Faulkner County, and how do you pay it?

The bill comes from the Faulkner County Collector. The value it is based on is set by a separate office, the Faulkner County Assessor, which is who to ask if the value looks wrong. For how to look up and pay the bill, go to the county's own payment information.

The Assessor values property and the Collector sends the bill, from separate offices; both have a Conway office at 806 Faulkner St. and a Greenbrier office at 89 N. Broadview St. State law requires personal property tax (cars, trailers, boats) to be paid with or before real estate tax, so an online real estate payment is refused until the personal property tax on the account is paid. Personal property must be assessed with the Assessor between January 1 and May 31 each year, or a 10% late assessment penalty applies. Card payments online carry a processing fee. Tax statements include optional voluntary taxes for the county museum, rescue squad, extension office, conservation district and animal shelter; these are donations, not required tax.

When are property taxes due in Faulkner County?

For the 2025 (collected in 2026) bill, Faulkner County has one due date: October 15, 2026. Arkansas collects property tax a year behind, so the 2025 tax is due October 15, 2026 (a Thursday). The Collector takes payments from March 1 through October 15. Under state law, when October 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or postal holiday the deadline moves to the next business day. A 10% penalty is added to taxes paid after October 15, plus 10% annual interest on real estate taxes. State law waives the penalty for deployed members of the armed forces, reserves or National Guard during deployment and for one year after it ends.
