West Memphis property tax: where it goes
A West Memphis house at the typical market value ($120,100) pays about $490 a year on the property tax bill, including flat charges on the same bill. Estimated from public rates, not anyone's actual bill.
A West Memphis house pays 0.906% of its taxable value in property tax. For a house at $120,100 of market value, that's about $488 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 collects property taxes a year in arrears: 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.

Ways to pay less
- Homeowners 65+ or disabled: freeze your assessed value. 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.
