- Paying taxes from a work computer:
- Most companies have security features in place to protect their investments and restrict access to certain websites.

If you are experiencing problems paying your taxes online from work, please try from your home or try one of our other pay options. If you are still having issues, please contact your company's IT Department. - Amendment 79:
- In November 2000, Amendment 79 was passed by Arkansas voters. This law allows a credit of up to $350 on the general taxes of an eligible taxpayer's real estate tax bill. Click here for more details.

- If a mortgage company is responsible for paying your real estate taxes, and you received a bill from us, please forward your tax statement to them for payment. Be sure to include your mortgage loan number.
