Randolph Property Tax Calculator
Rate basis: Arkansas DFA Assessment Coordination Division, 2025 Millage Report (2026 Collections), issued March 2026.
How Randolph County property taxes are calculated
Arkansas values real property at 20% of market value, and Randolph County multiplies that assessed value by the total millage printed for the parcel's school district and city or rural area. One mill is $1 of tax per $1,000 of assessed value, the $600 homestead credit comes off last, and only a qualifying primary residence qualifies for it.
Here is the arithmetic for a $150,000 home in Pocahontas inside the Pocahontas #19 district, which carries 40.51 mills for 2026 collections:
- $150,000 market value times 20% equals $30,000 assessed value.
- $30,000 times 40.51 divided by 1,000 equals $1,215.30 tax before credit.
- Subtract the $600 homestead credit to reach $615.30 estimated annual tax.
The same house moved to a Maynard city address at 45.7 mills would owe $1,371 before the credit, or $771 after it. That is $155.70 a year for crossing a district line, and it is why the county average of 42.76 mills is a first estimate rather than a final figure.
Randolph County millage rates by district and city
Randolph County has six school districts and six levying towns or cities, and the state report resolves them into twelve published combinations for 2026 collections. Every row's school, city and county columns add up to the overall rate on the same line.
| School district | City or area | School | City | County | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pocahontas #19 | Rural | 32.81 | 0 | 6 | 38.81 |
| Pocahontas #19 | Pocahontas | 32.81 | 1.7 | 6 | 40.51 |
| Maynard #15 | Rural | 34.7 | 0 | 6 | 40.7 |
| Maynard #15 | Maynard | 34.7 | 5 | 6 | 45.7 |
| Mammoth Spring | Rural | 35 | 0 | 6 | 41.0 |
| Mammoth Spring | Ravenden Springs | 35 | 3 | 6 | 44.0 |
| Corning #8 | Rural | 36.5 | 0 | 6 | 42.5 |
| Corning #8 | Biggers | 36.5 | 1.7 | 6 | 44.2 |
| Corning #8 | Reyno | 36.5 | 1.7 | 6 | 44.2 |
| Sloan Hendrix #45 | Rural | 36.93 | 0 | 6 | 42.93 |
| Greene County Tech | Rural | 37.49 | 0 | 6 | 43.49 |
| Greene County Tech | O'Kean | 37.49 | 1.6 | 6 | 45.09 |
| County average | 35.54 | 2.45 | 6.00 | 42.76 |
Rows taken from the Arkansas DFA Assessment Coordination Division 2025 Millage Report, covering 2026 collections and issued March 2026. Biggers and Reyno share one rate, because both levy the same 1.7 mills inside Corning #8.
Why Randolph County tax bills differ by address
Randolph County's rates run 6.89 mills from cheapest to dearest, and almost all of it comes from two places: which school district you are in, and whether your town levies a city tax at all.
- Pocahontas is the cheapest place to own in the county, but only in its rural tier. The Pocahontas #19 district levies just 32.81 school mills, the lowest school rate in Randolph County, so a rural parcel there pays 38.81 mills. Inside the Pocahontas city limits the town adds 1.7 mills, for 40.51.
- Maynard is the dearest address in Randolph County. Maynard levies 5 mills of city tax, the highest city rate in the county, on top of 34.7 school mills and the 6 mill county levy, for 45.7 mills overall. The rural tier of the same district sits at 40.7 mills, so the city line alone costs 5 mills.
- Ravenden Springs pays a city rate inside someone else's district. Ravenden Springs levies 3 mills and sits in the Mammoth Spring district, which is administered from Sharp County and fringes into Randolph. That combination lands at 44.0 mills, and the same district's rural tier is only 41.0.
- Biggers and Reyno are twins. Both levy 1.7 mills inside Corning #8, so both produce 44.2 mills. Biggers, Reyno and Pocahontas all levy 1.7 mills, the most common city rate in the county.
- Four districts have no city rate at all. Sloan Hendrix #45 and Greene County Tech appear in the Randolph table only as rural rows, at 42.93 and 43.49 mills. A parcel there pays county and school levies and nothing else.
Randolph County also borders five other counties, and several of its districts cross those lines. The Greene County Tech district reaches into Greene, Clay and Craighead counties as well as Randolph, Corning #8 is administered from Clay County, Sloan Hendrix #45 from Lawrence, and Mammoth Spring from Sharp. If your tax statement names a district you do not recognise, that is usually why.
Pocahontas, Maynard, Corning and the rest of Randolph County
Pocahontas
Pocahontas is the county seat and home to the lowest combined rate in Randolph County when you leave the city limits. Inside the city, a 1.7 mill levy applies and the total becomes 40.51 mills in the Pocahontas #19 district. Both the assessor and the collector are in the courthouse at 107 West Broadway, which makes one trip enough for a record check and a payment.
Maynard
Maynard carries the county's highest total, 45.7 mills, driven entirely by its 5 mill city levy. That is nearly three times the Pocahontas city rate and more than triple O'Kean's. A Maynard homeowner with a $150,000 house pays roughly $750 a year in tax before the credit against about $615 for the same house in Pocahontas.
Biggers, Reyno and O'Kean
These three small towns levy modest city rates, 1.7 mills for Biggers and Reyno and 1.6 for O'Kean, but they sit in different school districts. Biggers and Reyno are inside Corning #8, so both land at 44.2 mills. O'Kean is inside Greene County Tech, whose 37.49 school mills are the highest in Randolph County, so O'Kean reaches 45.09 mills despite the lower city rate.
Ravenden Springs and the rural tiers
Ravenden Springs is the only Randolph County town inside the Mammoth Spring district, and its 3 mill levy produces 44.0 mills. Outside the towns the picture is much flatter: Sloan Hendrix #45 at 42.93 and Greene County Tech at 43.49 have no city row at all, and the Pocahontas #19 rural tier at 38.81 is the cheapest rate published anywhere in the county.
Randolph County Assessor
Official name: Randolph County Assessor's Office. The assessor values real and personal property, maintains ownership and parcel records, applies exemptions, and administers the homestead credit. Valuation appeals start here. Payment does not; that is the collector's office.
One state source disagrees about the current officeholder. Arkansas.gov's county portal lists a different name for the Randolph County assessor, while the Arkansas DFA county officials table and the Association of Arkansas Counties both give Krissy Massey at Suite I on West Broadway. The DFA table carries the office's own email address, so treat it as the current listing and confirm by phone before sending anything time sensitive.
Sources: Arkansas DFA county officials table and Association of Arkansas Counties, Randolph County.
Randolph County Collector
Official name: Randolph County Collector's Office. The collector bills and collects the county, municipal, school, library and improvement district taxes and turns them over to the county treasurer. The office also handles delinquent collection. It does not set values.
The Randolph County collector sponsors a free public search of personal and real estate tax records through ARCountyData, with the county currently listed at 18,474 parcels. That search covers bills and receipts. For values and ownership, go to the assessor's records instead.

How to look up a Randolph County parcel and its tax
Randolph County runs its public records through ARCountyData rather than a county-hosted portal, and the same platform carries both sides of the record. The collector sponsors the free tax search, and the assessor's property data feeds the same system.
- Start at the Randolph County page on ARCountyData and choose the search option. It is free to the public, sponsored by the collector's office.
- Search by last name, first name, address or parcel number. The system reports both personal property and real estate, so a single owner name can return several records.
- Open the real estate record and read the market value against the assessed value. Arkansas sets assessed value at 20% of market value, so the two should track at that ratio unless an Amendment 79 cap or a freeze is holding taxable value below full assessment.
- Note the school district and the city shown on the record. Those two fields select the row in the millage table above, and in Randolph County the city field matters as much as the district, because Maynard's 5 mill levy is what pushes the county to its top rate.
- Use the same record view for the money side: amount due, paid or unpaid status by year, and a downloadable receipt once a payment has posted.
If a statement or parcel does not appear, call the assessor's office on (870) 892-3200. Randolph County publishes its assessments and tax records online, so a record that is genuinely missing from the search is usually an indexing problem worth reporting rather than a sign the parcel is unassessed.

Paying Randolph County property taxes
Randolph County tax books open the first business day in March and run through October 15. Under Arkansas law a 10% penalty attaches to any balance still unpaid after that date, and a payment is timely if it is postmarked by October 15 through the United States Postal Service.
- In person: Randolph County Collector's Office, Suite H at 107 West Broadway in Pocahontas, on the courthouse square.
- Online: the collector sponsors an online tax search and payment service through ARCountyData, reachable from the county's record page. The portal handles both current and delinquent balances.
- By mail: to the collector's office at 107 W. Broadway St., Suite H, Pocahontas, AR 72455. The postmark governs, not the delivery date.
- Installments: Arkansas allows current real and personal taxes to be paid in installments in any amount between the first business day in March and October 15, so a Randolph County taxpayer can spread the bill without penalty as long as the balance clears by the deadline.
Randolph County's public tax search is sponsored through the same records platform the collector uses, so bills, payment status and receipts sit alongside the parcel data rather than on a separate county portal. Check the convenience fee shown at checkout before confirming a card payment, and remember that a mailed payment is timely when it is postmarked by October 15, not when it arrives. The statewide rules on deadlines, postmarks and penalties are covered in when Arkansas property taxes are due.

Homestead credit in Randolph County
Arkansas's homestead credit reduces the property tax on a qualifying primary residence, and Randolph County residents apply for it at the assessor's office rather than at the courthouse front desk or the collector. It is not automatic, and it is limited to one residence per owner.
The maximum is $600 on a 2026 tax bill under Act 330 of 2025 and rises to $675 on a 2027 bill under HB1103, signed in May 2026 as Act 174 of 2026. The state's own property tax relief page still describes the older, lower cap, which is why you will see smaller figures quoted in a few places. The calculator on this page models a 2026 bill, so it uses $600. Filing steps are in how to apply for the Arkansas homestead credit.
Randolph County parcels also carry the Amendment 79 limits. Taxable value on a primary residence can rise 5% a year after a reappraisal, other real property 10%, and a homeowner 65 or older or disabled can freeze the taxable value of the residence. A sale resets all of it: the assessor must value the property at 20% of appraised value on the next assessment date after a transfer, and the new owner cannot claim the cap until the second assessment date after that. See Arkansas Amendment 79 property tax limits.

Appealing a Randolph County assessment
Start with the assessor's office. Randolph County valuation disputes usually resolve once the property record card is compared against similar properties, and Arkansas law gives every owner the right to an informal hearing before any formal filing.
If the informal review does not close the gap, the route is the Randolph County Board of Equalization. The county clerk serves as the board's secretary and accepts applications.
- First contact: Randolph County Assessor's Office, (870) 892-3200
- Board secretary: Randolph County Clerk, courthouse, Pocahontas
- How to file: in person, by letter or by petition to the board secretary. No state form or fee is required at this stage.
- Deadline to schedule: the third Monday in August. Hearings begin no later than the second Monday in August.
- Onward route: a petition to the county court goes to the county clerk by the second Monday in October, and the county judge must hear it by November 15.
The evidence sequence is fixed in state law. The assessor presents the basis for the value first, then you present yours, then the assessor may rebut. Any material evidence you have not provided to the assessor at least five days before the hearing can be excluded, so send comparables early rather than bringing them to the table. Property record cards for similar homes in the same district are the standard submission, since the board can only rule on whether the value is accurate and uniform, not on whether the tax is affordable.

Randolph County property tax examples
These examples use the Randolph County average of 42.76 mills for 2026 collections with the $600 homestead credit applied. They are estimates: your parcel uses its own combination, and those run from 38.81 to 45.7 mills.
| Market value | Assessed at 20% | Tax before credit | After $600 credit | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100,000 | $20,000 | $855 | $255 | $21.27 |
| $130,600 (county median) | $26,120 | $1,117 | $517 | $43.07 |
| $250,000 | $50,000 | $2,138 | $1,538 | $128.17 |
| $400,000 | $80,000 | $3,421 | $2,821 | $235.07 |
| $500,000 | $100,000 | $4,276 | $3,676 | $306.33 |
Calculated at the 42.76 mill Randolph County average for 2026 collections. Each row applies one $600 credit for a qualifying primary residence.
Randolph County median home value and median tax
Historical and statistical comparison only. None of this feeds the calculator, and none of it describes an individual parcel.
The county's surveyed median home value of $130,600 is the second lowest of the five counties in this group, and the median tax of $527 is the lowest. Part of that reflects low property values rather than low rates: at the 42.76 mill average, a $130,600 home would imply about $1,117 in tax before any credit, roughly double the surveyed median. Amendment 79 caps, the rural districts where most parcels sit, and a housing stock well below the state's median value all pull the surveyed figure down. For planning purposes use the calculator above, not the ACS median.

Randolph County property tax questions
-
The county average total millage is 42.76 mills for 2026 collections, blending 35.54 school mills, 2.45 city mills and 6.00 county mills. Published rates run from 38.81 mills in the rural Pocahontas #19 tier to 45.7 mills for a Maynard city address.
-
Because Maynard levies 5 mills of city tax, the highest city rate in the county and roughly triple the Pocahontas rate. Combined with 34.7 school mills and the 6 mill county levy, a Maynard address reaches 45.7 mills against 40.7 mills in the rural tier of the same district.
-
Sloan Hendrix #45 at 42.93 mills and Greene County Tech at 43.49 mills appear in the state report as rural rows only, so parcels there pay school and county levies with no city millage. The rural tiers of Pocahontas #19, Maynard #15, Mammoth Spring and Corning #8 are the same.
-
To the Randolph County Collector, Suite H at 107 West Broadway in Pocahontas, by mail to the same address, or online through the tax search the collector sponsors on ARCountyData. The payment window runs from the first business day in March to October 15, and the 10% penalty attaches after that.
-
