Ways to pay less

Nothing here applies to every house automatically. These are worth checking:

Homeowners 65+ or disabled: freeze your assessed valueValue frozen
If you qualify for the homestead credit and are 65 or older or disabled, the taxable assessed value of your home can be frozen at its value at the next assessment date after you turn 65 or become disabled. Your tax can still change if millage rates change.
How: Apply for the freeze with the county assessor's office.
Two bulk items a month, free
Households are allowed 2 bulk items per month at no charge. Bulk waste will not be picked up if it is not scheduled 48 hours in advance.
How: Schedule with GFL at 479-878-1384.
Help paying your water bill (H2O)
Rogers Water Utilities has developed Help 2 Others (H2O) to assist customers in paying their water bill.

Adjust to match your bills

What you know

Value before exemptionsEnter your home's market (appraised) value from the Benton County Assessor; the calculator takes 20% of it as the assessed value. Amendment 79 limits yearly increases in a homestead's taxable value after a reappraisal to 5%, so a long-held home may be taxed on less. Parts of Rogers in the Bentonville School District pay 59.72 mills.

Your water

Source: Rogers Water Utilities purchases treated surface water from Beaver Water District whose source is Beaver Lake.
Fluoride: Beaver Water District fluoride average was 0.65 ppm (range 0.55 to 0.78) in the 2023 report; the limit is 4 ppm.
Lead: The 90th-percentile lead result was under 0.001 ppm (action level 0.015 ppm), with 0 of 30 sites over the action level, from the 2022 monitoring period.

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 due Oct. 15, 2026, a home inside Rogers in the Rogers School District carries 54.6 mills: school 41.6, city 3.3 and county 9.7, which includes 2.6 mills for NorthWest Arkansas Community College, so we show the county as 7.1 and the college separately. Parts of Rogers in the Bentonville School District pay 59.72 mills. The starting value is the Census median, a market value, not an assessed one.
Homestead credit: Arkansas's homestead property tax credit takes up to $600 off the tax bill of an owner-occupied home (Act 330 of 2025); we subtract $600. A later increase is not included.
Water and sewer: Rogers Water Utilities inside-city rates effective 7/1/2026. Water is $12.28 for the first 1,500 gallons plus the $0.40 state fee ($12.68 fixed), then $5.21, $4.62, $4.21 and $3.93 per thousand gallons by block. Sewer is $21.30 plus $7.41 per thousand gallons of water used (the rate drops to $7.31 above 100,000 gallons; not modelled).
Garbage: GFL's regular residential service, $21.33 a month with a 96-gallon trash and 64-gallon recycling cart, billed on the Rogers Water Utilities bill.
Electricity: SWEPCO Arkansas residential tariff of Sept. 15, 2026, using a 12-month average of the summer and winter per-kWh rates (5 summer and 7 winter billing months), plus SWEPCO's proposed April 2026 fuel rate for residential service ($0.023385 per kWh, filed March 13, 2026); other riders are not included. The 4% municipal tax listed for Rogers is applied. Typical use is SWEPCO's 890 kWh average residential customer.
Gas: Black Hills Energy Arkansas October 2026 residential rates converted from Ccf to therms. The Black Hills franchise table lists Rogers residential/commercial at 5%, but the model has one tax rate, so the 4% electric rate is applied to gas too (under $10 a year of difference). Typical use is Arkansas's 2024 average (EIA). Insurance is Arkansas's 2022 statewide average premium, which may be out of date; sales tax on utility bills is not included.
