How these numbers are made

Property tax: Arkansas assesses a home at 20% of market value and applies the total millage. For the 2025 taxes (payable 2026), a home in the City of Bryant in Bryant School District 25 carries 53.5 mills: school 40.6, city 3.2 and Saline County 9.7. Voluntary millages are not included. We subtract the $600 homestead credit.
Water and sewer: City of Bryant rates billed January 1 to December 31, 2026 from the city's Water Department Rates page. Water: $15.69 minimum (includes the first 2,000 gallons) plus the $10.00 System Infrastructure Fee = $25.69 a month, then $0.754 per 100 gallons ($7.54 per 1,000). Sewer: $21.53 minimum (first 2,000 gallons) then $1.148 per 100 gallons ($11.48 per 1,000). A council-agenda ordinance copy shows slightly different 2026 figures; the city's rates page is used. The city has not published a typical use, so the page starts at its default.
Electricity: Entergy Arkansas Schedule RS present rates from its 2026 rate case notice (still pending), year-round weighted average of the first 1,500 kWh block, plus the formula rate plan and tax adjustment riders and the per-kWh riders. The 5.20% municipal franchise adjustment is shown separately as a percentage on energy bills. Typical use is the EIA 2024 residential average for Entergy Arkansas. Parts of the Bryant area may be served by First Electric Cooperative instead.
Gas: Summit Utilities Arkansas's gas supply rate is not published in a public document, so gas is priced at Arkansas's 2025 average residential price from EIA, which EIA defines as the total price paid. Summit's 5.20% Bryant franchise tax is applied by the page as a percentage on energy bills.
Garbage: Recycle Saline lists haulers for Bryant but no prices, so garbage is not in the total. Insurance is Arkansas's 2022 statewide average premium.
The statewide 20% assessment ratio is quoted from an Arkansas county assessor page; the Saline County Assessor homestead page lists a $675 credit, while the state's Act 330 of 2025 and the DFA relief page give $600, which is used.
