Tax calendar

When Pope County property taxes are due

Arkansas ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes are generally payable between the first business day in March and October 15 in the year after the assessment. Pope County specifically lists October 15, 2026 as the deadline for paying 2025 taxes without a penalty.

Key Pope County tax dates
Date or period What it means
January 1–May 31 Individual and business personal property should be assessed during this period.
After May 31 Late personal-property assessment is subject to the assessment penalty required by Arkansas law.
First business day in March Normal collection period begins for taxes payable that year.
October 15, 2026 Pope County’s stated deadline to pay 2025 taxes without the standard delinquency penalty.
After legal deadline Unpaid taxes become delinquent and a 10% penalty is generally added.
Weekend or postal-holiday rule: If October 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or qualifying U.S. Postal Service holiday, Arkansas law moves the payment deadline to the following business day.
Assessment vs. collection

Personal property taxes: Collector or Assessor?

The Collector handles payment of the tax bill, but the Pope County Assessor handles valuation and assessment questions. This distinction matters if the amount is wrong because a vehicle, business asset or property value is incorrect.

Call the Collector
For payment status, balances, receipts, delinquency questions and tax collection.
Call the Assessor
For assessment, valuation, homestead or ownership-information questions. Pope County lists the Assessor at 479-968-7418.
Personal property is assessed annually
Pope County says personal property must be assessed between January 1 and May 31.
Taxes are paid in arrears
The current bill generally relates to property assessed in the prior calendar year.
Vehicle no longer owned? A tax bill can still include personal property owned during the applicable prior assessment period. If the underlying assessment itself appears wrong, contact the Assessor rather than only the Collector.
Late taxes

What happens if Pope County taxes are not paid?

Taxes unpaid after the legal October deadline become delinquent. Arkansas law generally adds a 10% penalty to unpaid balances, and additional statutory costs can apply as a delinquency continues.

Delinquent real estate

Arkansas law provides a state-level process for tax-delinquent land. Real property that remains unpaid through the statutory delinquency period can ultimately be certified to the Arkansas Commissioner of State Lands for collection or sale proceedings.

Do not wait for a sale notice. If real estate taxes are already delinquent, contact the Pope County Collector and, when applicable, the Arkansas Commissioner of State Lands to confirm the exact redemption balance and status before sending money.

Common problems

What to do when a Pope County tax payment or record is wrong

Payment made but balance still appears Keep the electronic confirmation and contact the Collector. Give the payment date, account information and confirmation details so the office can check the posting.
Property value looks wrong Contact the Pope County Assessor. The Collector collects the resulting tax but does not set the property’s assessed value.
Tag renewal says taxes are unpaid Verify the prior-year personal property tax status. If you previously lived in another Arkansas county, proof of payment from that county may be needed.
Mortgage company should have paid Compare the tax account with your escrow statement and contact both the mortgage servicer and Collector if the payment is missing.
