Arkansas Constitution of 1874 Amendment 79, § 2. Applicability

Current as of March 28, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a)(1) Section 1 of this Amendment shall not be applicable to a county in which there has been no county-wide reappraisal, as defined by law, and resulting assessed value of property between January 1, 1986 and December 31, 2000. Real property in such a county shall be adjusted according to the provisions of this section.

(2) Upon the completion of the adjustments to assessed value required by this section each taxpayer of that county shall be entitled to apply the provision of Section 1 of this Amendment to the real property owned by them.

(b) The county assessor, or other official or officials designated by law, shall compare the assessed value of each parcel of real property to the prior year's assessed value. If assessed value of the parcel increased, then the assessed value of the parcel for the first assessment resulting from reappraisal shall be adjusted by adding one-third (1/3) of the increase to the assessed value of the parcel for the previous year. An additional one-third (1/3) of the increase shall be added in each of the next two (2) years. This adjustment procedure shall not apply to public utility and carrier property. Public utility and carrier property shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.

(c) No adjustment shall be made for newly discovered real property, new construction, or to substantial improvements to real property.
