Mission
Statement
Our mission is to ensure fair and equitable valuation of property for ad valorem tax purposes.
The
Assessment Coordination Department (ACD) is
granted full power and authority in the administration
of the tax laws of Arkansas to exercise general
and complete supervision over: the valuation,
assessment and equalization of all property
for ad valorem tax purposes, (except utility
property); the collection of those taxes and
the assessors, equalization boards, tax collectors
and other officers charged with those duties
in all seventy-five counties, to insure that
all assessments on property in Arkansas shall
be in relative proportion to the just and true
value thereof, in substantial compliance with
the law. In the exercise of its powers, the
Department is directed to confer with, advise,
and direct the foregoing entities with respect
to their duties. While property taxes are locally
assessed, administered, collected and dispensed
by each county, the equity of the assessments
within the county and between counties is of
state-wide importance.
