Pulaski County’s 2026 assessment appeal deadline is August 17
Arkansas’s third-Monday rule places the 2026 Pulaski County Board of Equalization application deadline on August 17. Review the official record, evidence, and current filing instructions.
Pulaski County property owners who want the County Board of Equalization to review a 2026 assessment generally must apply by Monday, August 17.
That date comes from Arkansas’s statewide rule: the application is due on or before the third Monday in August. Pulaski County’s Assessor also directs property owners to arrange an appointment during the August appeal period. The current assessment notice and live county instructions should still be checked before anything is submitted.
What the process is
The Pulaski County Assessor maintains the county property record and determines the assessment. The County Board of Equalization is the first administrative forum for a valuation challenge, with the County Clerk serving as the board’s secretary.
Arkansas allows an owner or the owner’s agent to apply in person, by petition, or by letter. Before relying on any one filing method, confirm the current board contact, accepted submission format, appointment schedule, and evidence deadline. A current notice may contain property-specific instructions that control.
What to review before filing
Start with four records:
• The current assessment notice
• The Pulaski County Assessor’s property record
• The official Board of Equalization instructions
• Any documents that support a specific factual or valuation issue
Compare the notice and county record with what is actually true about the property. Look for incorrect building size, age, use, classification, land characteristics, or improvement details. If comparable properties are relevant, record why each comparison is similar and identify material differences. If condition is relevant, use dated photographs, inspection material, repair documentation, or other homeowner-reviewed records.
Keep market value, assessed value, and the eventual tax bill separate. Arkansas generally converts market value to an assessed value at 20 percent, so those numbers should not be treated as interchangeable.
How FairPath helps
FairPath can organize the assessment notice, public property record, comparable evidence, condition documents, record corrections, homeowner-reviewed facts, and official source links into an owner-guided Property Tax Protest Packet.
The homeowner decides what belongs in the packet and files through the official local process. FairPath does not file the petition, contact the Assessor or Board, represent the homeowner, choose a requested value, or predict an outcome.
