What happens when Craighead County taxes are delinquent?
Craighead County states that real-estate and personal-property taxes unpaid after October 15 are delinquent. The Collector also publishes delinquent tax information as required by Arkansas law.
Delinquent personal property
The Collector specifically states that it does not accept personal checks for delinquent personal-property taxes unless those taxes are being paid with real-estate taxes.

Delinquent real-estate balances can change over time. If you are reviewing an older delinquent amount, confirm the current payoff with the Collector before sending payment.
