Tax Collector
Tax dollars keep streets paved, roads maintained, libraries open, schools operational and forests safeguarded. The Arkansas tax structure may be different from surrounding states. Please familiarize yourself with the tax structure of Pope County so that you will be aware of your obligations as a tax-paying citizen. It is our intent to acquaint you with the county tax laws and keep you informed of upcoming legislation that affects you, as a tax payer.

The county collector collects municipal, county, school and improvement district taxes. The current collection period is March 1st through October 10th each year during the calendar year after they are assessed. Taxes not paid by the tenth day of October are considered delinquent, and a 10% penalty is added to the tax plus other additional fees.

The collector must keep accurate and detailed records of all receipts, deposits and disbursements of funds. Funds are remitted to the treasurer on a weekly basis and detailed distribution reports are given to the treasurer each month.

Please note our new Courthouse Hours: Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
