Pulaski County Property Tax Calculator
Millage figures are 2026 collections, per the Arkansas DFA Assessment Coordination Division 2025 Millage Report issued March 2026.
How Pulaski County property taxes are calculated
Arkansas sets assessed value at 20% of market value. Pulaski County then applies the combined millage for your school district and city, where one mill is $1 of tax per $1,000 of assessed value. The homestead credit comes off last. Property tax here is billed one year in arrears, which the Treasurer's own site spells out: a 2025 assessment generates the bill collected in 2026.
Applied to a $250,000 home in Sherwood inside the Pulaski County Special district, at 52.1 mills for 2026 collections:
- $250,000 market value times 20% equals $50,000 assessed value.
- $50,000 times 52.1 divided by 1,000 equals $2,605 tax before credit.
- Subtract the $600 homestead credit to reach $2,005 estimated annual tax.
Now move that same house into the North Little Rock school district inside North Little Rock city at 70.8 mills. Tax before credit becomes $3,540, or $2,940 after the credit. That is $935 more per year for the same house, entirely from the taxing combination.
Pulaski County millage rates by district and city
Every row is a published Pulaski County taxing combination for 2026 collections. Note the county column: it is 10.1 mills almost everywhere, but 8.5 mills for Little Rock and North Little Rock city parcels, so there is no single county rate to quote.

Why Pulaski County rates vary so widely
Pulaski has both of the effects that move a rate, and they stack. The school levies alone run from 40.4 to 52.3 mills, a 11.9 mill gap, and the city levies run from zero to 15.1 mills. On top of that, the county's own levy is 10.1 mills for most parcels but 8.5 mills on Little Rock and North Little Rock city parcels. Four comparisons from the 2026 collections table:
- Sherwood, same city, two school districts: a Sherwood address in the North Little Rock district pays 63.7 mills, while a Sherwood address in the Pulaski County Special district pays 52.1 mills. Same city services, 11.6 mills apart.
- Lowest against highest in the county: rural East End at 50.5 mills against North Little Rock inside North Little Rock city at 70.8 mills. On a $250,000 home that is $2,525 versus $3,540 before credit, a $1,015 gap.
- Little Rock city, two school districts: the Little Rock district reaches 70.0 mills while Pulaski County Special reaches 64.3 in the same city, a 5.7 mill difference driven by the school levy of 46.4 against 40.7.
- Maumelle and Wrightsville sit between the extremes at 56.3 and 55.8 mills. Both are in the Pulaski County Special district, but Maumelle levies 7.1 city mills and Wrightsville 5.0.
Jacksonville adds a wrinkle worth knowing: the Jacksonville North Pulaski School District separated from Pulaski County Special to form its own district, which is why Jacksonville now appears as a separate row at 48.3 school mills. East End School District reaches into Pulaski County from Perry County, and Pulaski County Special reaches out to Saline, Faulkner and Lonoke counties.
Little Rock, North Little Rock, Sherwood and the rest of Pulaski County
Little Rock
Little Rock is the county seat and the largest city in Arkansas. A Little Rock mailing address can fall in the Little Rock district at 70.0 mills or in the Pulaski County Special district at 64.3 mills, a distinction that depends on the school boundary rather than the city limit. Little Rock's city levy is 15.1 mills, made up of 1.3 cap outlay, 5.0 general, 1.0 fire, 1.0 police, 3.8 library and 3.0 park, the highest city levy in the county.
North Little Rock
North Little Rock carries the county's single highest rate at 70.8 mills, combining the North Little Rock school district at 52.3 mills with 10.0 city mills and 8.5 county mills. Cammack Village, which sits inside the Little Rock district, reaches 70.0 mills because of a 13.5 mill city levy that includes an 8.5 mill bond.
Sherwood
Sherwood is the clearest example of why a city name is not enough. A Sherwood address lands in the North Little Rock school district at 63.7 mills or in the Pulaski County Special district at 52.1 mills. Sherwood's own city levy is only 1.3 mills, all of it library, so nearly all of the difference comes from which school district serves the parcel.
Jacksonville, Maumelle and Wrightsville
Jacksonville sits at 59.8 mills in its own school district with 3.0 city mills. Maumelle pays 56.3 mills with a 7.1 mill city levy that includes a 2.1 mill library component. Wrightsville reaches 55.8 mills with a 5.0 mill city levy and no library component. Alexander is the lowest city levy in Pulaski County at 1.5 mills, reaching 52.3 mills in the Pulaski County Special district.
Pulaski County Assessor
Official name: Pulaski County Assessor's Office. Assessor: Janet Troutman Ward. The assessor determines fair market value, maintains parcel and ownership records, and handles exemptions and homestead applications. The assessor does not collect tax.
The assessor publishes raw real estate data for download, a mobile app for records search, and a newer online mapping system. Exemption questions other than disabled veterans go to the Exemptions Department at (501) 340-3350.

Pulaski County Treasurer and Collector
Pulaski County is one of the places where the office titles do not match the job names. The elected Treasurer performs the collection function, so the same official answers to both titles. Debra Buckner is Pulaski County Treasurer and Collector. Billing, payment, penalties and delinquency questions belong here, not with the assessor.
The Treasurer's office also publishes a straight anti-fraud warning: the Pulaski County Treasurer does not contract with private individuals to collect property taxes. If someone offers to handle your payment for a fee, that is not this office.

The calculator uses the county average, the Arkansas 20% assessment ratio and the homestead credit. Your parcel's own combination of school district and city is what sets your actual rate.
How to look up a Pulaski County parcel and its tax
Value and payment live in different systems in Pulaski County, so budget two steps. The assessor publishes all real estate records online, and the Treasurer publishes the billed amounts.
- Open the assessor's records search through ARCountyData and look the parcel up by owner name, address or parcel number to read market value, assessed value and property characteristics.
- If the district assignment is unclear, open the PAGIS parcel map, the county's own mapping system, to see the parcel boundary against district lines.
- Note the school district and city. That pairing selects the row in the millage table above, and it is what makes a Sherwood address 52.1 or 63.7 mills.
- Go to the Treasurer's payment portal at public.pulaskicountytreasurer.net and search by parcel number to see the current bill, any delinquent amount, and the payment history. Receipts can be printed or emailed.
- If you need a map or a hard copy of parcel data, the Assessor's Customer Resource department handles map orders at (501) 340-6170.

One local quirk to know before you call: the elected Treasurer performs the collection role in Pulaski County, so billing and payment questions go to the Treasurer's office rather than to a separate collector.
Paying Pulaski County property taxes
Taxes are due upon receipt and become delinquent after October 15. Two deadlines are worth committing to memory because the Treasurer states them precisely: mail postmarked on October 15 posts without penalty, and internet or phone payments made by 11:59 p. m. on October 15 also post without penalty. Internet and phone payments close at that moment.
Payment methods published by the Treasurer
- Online and mobile: the county's own payment portal, with PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, Apple Pay and Google Pay available.
- Telephone: 1-833-277-8725, offered in English and Spanish, parcel number required.
- In person: Suite 150 at 201 South Broadway. Checks must be written in dark blue or black ink.
- Retail cash and Walmart Bill Pay: select CASH in the online cart for a barcode to take to a participating retailer, or pay in person at Walmart locations using cash or debit, which posts the same day.
- By mail: with the original bill coupon to PO Box 8101, Little Rock, AR 72203, or without a coupon to PO Box 430, Little Rock, AR 72203, with the parcel number on the cheque.
- Drop box: outside the Administration Building on Second Street between Spring and Broadway, and at the Guard Station inside. No cash, and allow 24 hours to post.
The Treasurer does not charge a fee for online services, but the electronic payment processor applies its own charges and the county receives no part of them. Late penalties are 10% of the base amount plus an advertising fee of $1.75 for personal property and $1.50 for real estate, with interest on delinquent real estate accruing daily at 10% per annum. For the statewide picture, see Arkansas property tax due dates.

Homestead credit in Pulaski County
The homestead credit applies only to a primary residence and only to ad valorem taxes. In Pulaski County there is a meaningful limit that other counties do not always spell out: special improvement district taxes, timber taxes, and personal property taxes are not eligible for the credit.
The calculator on this page models a 2026 bill and therefore uses $600. The higher $675 figure applies to assessment year 2026, which is billed in 2027, so it will show up on next year's statement rather than the one payable this October. Apply once: you do not reapply each year unless you move to a new primary residence. One more local detail worth knowing, if your bill is smaller than the credit, no tax is due and the unused portion is not refunded or transferred. Full filing steps are in how to apply for the Arkansas homestead credit.

Appealing a Pulaski County assessment
The deadline is the third Monday in August, which is August 17 in 2026. Pulaski County accepts appeals by several routes and states the rules for each, which is unusual and worth knowing before you file.
- By phone or email: accepted from mid-July to the end of business on the third Monday in August.
- By mail: must be postmarked by the third Monday in August.
- Five or more parcels: you must schedule the appeals by email rather than filing individually.
- Contact: [email protected] or (501) 340-6170.
The appeal goes to the Pulaski County Board of Equalization, and the right to appeal the Board's decision continues to the County Court and then the Circuit Court. Pulaski County completed a countywide reappraisal that began in January 2023, so values established in that cycle are the ones many owners are now questioning. All real property in the county is reappraised every four years. The broader process is covered in how to appeal a property tax assessment in Arkansas.

These use the Pulaski County average of 59.56 mills for 2026 collections and the $600 homestead credit. They are estimates: your parcel uses the school and city combination that applies to its address.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100,000 | $20,000 | $1,191 | $591 | $49.27 |

Pulaski County median home value and median tax
This is historical and statistical context only. It is not a calculator input and it does not describe your parcel.
Pulaski County has the highest effective rate on this site at 0.76%, which fits the 59.56 mill average. The surveyed median bill of $1,642 sits well below what the average millage applied to the median home value would imply, because a large share of the county sits in the Pulaski County Special district at 40.7 school mills rather than in the Little Rock or North Little Rock districts, and because Amendment 79 caps can hold taxable value below full assessed value.

Pulaski County property tax questions
-
The county average total millage is 59.56 mills for 2026 collections, blending 44.88 school mills, 7.54 city mills and 9.50 county mills. Actual combinations run from 50.5 mills in rural East End to 70.8 mills for the North Little Rock district inside North Little Rock city.
-
The Treasurer and Collector, Debra Buckner, at (501) 340-6040, Suite 150 of 201 South Broadway. Value questions go to the Assessor at (501) 340-6170, Suite 310. The two offices are in the same building on different floors, which makes the mix-up easy.
-
Because the school district boundary crosses the city. A Sherwood address in the North Little Rock school district pays 63.7 mills while one in the Pulaski County Special district pays 52.1 mills for 2026 collections. Sherwood's own city levy is only 1.3 mills, so nearly all of the difference is the school district.
-
Yes. The Treasurer's office publishes Walmart Bill Pay as an option, using cash or debit in person at Walmart locations. Payments post the same day and require the parcel number and bill amount. Retail cash payment through a participating local retailer is also available by selecting CASH in the online cart.
-
A 10% penalty on the base amount, plus an advertising fee of $1.75 for personal property and $1.50 for real estate. Interest on delinquent real estate parcels accrues daily at 10% per annum.
-
No. Only ad valorem general taxes are eligible. Special improvement district taxes, timber taxes and personal property taxes are excluded, and those items often have to be paid before or with the general tax.
-
Internet and phone payments made by 11:59 p. m. on October 15 post without penalties or interest, and that is also when the online and phone systems close. Mail must be postmarked October 15.
-
No. A Notice of Real Estate Value Change is not a tax bill. Pulaski County completed a countywide reappraisal cycle that began in January 2023, and real property in the county is reappraised every four years. Questions about a notice go to the Assessor at (501) 340-6170.
