Taxpayers can now make online payments with
credit or debit cards
Paying property taxes in Mississippi County, Arkansas, just got
a lot easier thanks to a new online payment system offered by tax
collector Susan McCormick. Residents can now avoid a trip to the
Collector’s Office by visiting ar.gov/mississippitax and paying
their taxes online with just a few clicks on their desktop
computers or mobile phones. By entering or searching parcel numbers
to begin, taxpayers are guided by the online system through a
series of secure payment screens and are quickly provided with a
payment confirmation and a receipt for their records.
“We are excited to offer this new payment option to our
taxpayers,” Mississippi County Tax Collector Susan McCormick said.
“We want to make it easier for people to pay their taxes quickly
and avoid standing in long lines, and this online payment system
makes that possible.” McCormick noted that while she expects the
online payment option to be popular, tax payments are still
accepted in person or by mail.
The Mississippi County Tax Collector partnered with the state’s
digital government service provider, Information Network of
Arkansas (INA), to develop the secure payment system, which ensures
privacy, security, and data integrity. Credit card transactions
include a processing fee to cover the cost of the system, which INA
developed for the county free of charge.
Mississippi County personal property and real estate taxes are
due March 1 and considered delinquent after October 15. Residents
and business owners can pay their county taxes online at
ar.gov/mississippitax with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or
American Express debit or credit card. Payments can also be made in
person at the Mississippi County Tax Collector’s office or by
mail.
