Bella Vista property tax: where it goes
A Bella Vista house pays 1.245% of its taxable value in property tax. For a house at $296,700 of market value, that's about $3,093 a year.
Tax is levied on assessed value, which in Arkansas is 20% of market value, times the total millage (1 mill = $1 per $1,000 of assessed value); the homestead credit then reduces the tax on a homestead.
Arkansas property taxes are paid a year behind: the bills due Oct. 15, 2026 use the 2025 millage (the state's 2025 Millage Report for 2026 collections). The 2026 millage is billed in 2027.
