NIC Arkansas and county tax collectors
partnered to offer payment services to over 50 Arkansas
counties
Just one week after Pulaski County, Ark., announced a
first-of-its-kind cash payment option for property taxes, digital
government solutions firm NIC Arkansas announces expanded payment
services to help taxpayers avoid standing in line to pay their
personal property and real estate taxes ahead of the Oct. 15
deadline.
Developed in partnership with county tax collectors, the online
property tax payment solution provides taxpayers in over 50
Arkansas counties with a safe, touchless payment option to pay
their tax bill. A directory of participating counties and secure,
mobile payment services is available at ar.gov/tax.
“Now more than ever, it’s important to offer citizens a
convenient, safe and secure option of paying their taxes without
having to visit an office in-person,” said Debra Buckner, Pulaski
County Treasurer. “While Pulaski County Treasurer offices remain
closed, county tax collector locations around the state typically
have lines in the days leading up to the deadline. No matter where
you live, it’s much easier and safer to visit ar.gov/tax and pay
your property taxes online in just a few steps.”
Developed in partnership with the Information Network of
Arkansas (INA) and NIC Arkansas, the ar.gov/tax website and
property tax payment services provide the accessibility, security
and privacy policies that are standard for State of Arkansas
information technology. Taxpayers can visit ar.gov/tax from a
computer or mobile device and search for their county from the
drop-down menu or interactive map. To begin making a secure
payment, taxpayers simply enter either the parcel or tax-ID number
provided on their tax statements or search by their name or
address. The online service provides a payment confirmation and a
printable receipt. Payments can be made online until 11:59 p.m. on
Oct. 15.
Citizens who pay their taxes online will also have the
opportunity to sign up for Gov2Go, the first-of-its-kind, personal
assistant for government that tracks assessment, property tax and
vehicle registration renewal deadlines and enables citizens to
quickly complete tasks from anywhere. Current Gov2Go users will
receive timely emails as well as SMS and push notifications via the
Gov2Go app reminding them of the approaching property tax deadline
and prompting them to visit the property tax center at ar.gov/tax
to learn how to pay in their county.
Residents of Pulaski County who prefer to pay their tax bill
with cash are encouraged to visit one of the convenient, drive-thru
payment lanes at one of three participating Centennial Bank
locations or select walk-in bill payment retailers. To find a
walk-in bill payment location nearby, Pulaski County residents can
visit ar.gov/cash, select Pulaski County Treasurer as the biller
and enter the zip code to search results within the selected
radius.
“We want to meet the customer where they are,” Buckner said.
“Whether by mail, phone, drive-thru, drop-off, in-person or online,
we’ve made it possible for taxpayers to make payments the way
that’s easiest for them to avoid becoming delinquent.”
