Assessments are required of all taxpayers engaged in any kind of business.
Arkansas statutes require businesses to assess all personal property including, but not limited to, furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, inventories, supplies, vehicles, and aircraft, NO LATER THAN MAY 31, of each year.  After this date, a 10% penalty will be applied. Commercial Personal Property cannot be assessed by phone.

GIS Data can be downloaded from the Arkansas Geographic Information Office geospatial portal, GeoStor (www.gis.arkansas.gov) at no charge utilizing their
site.  To find the county polygon and point layers use the keyword search ‘CAMP’, and the layers will be listed as ‘Parcel Centroid-County Assessor Mapping Program (point)’ and ‘Parcel Polygon-County Assessor Mapping Program (polygon)’.

Personal Property

Personal property is assessed annually by the property owner. The time frame to assess personal property is from the first working day in January to May 31.

You can assess personal property in person, by phone, by mail or by fax.  Assessments by telephone will not be taken for the initial listing of personal property being assessed to an individual who has no previous assessment on record with the assessor (first-time assessments and new residents, for example).

May 31 is the deadline to assess personal property. By state law, a 10% penalty is applied to property not assessed by the deadline.
