Welcome to the Crawford County Assessor's website. We hope you find it a useful resource for practical information about property values and the and the assessment process. Every Citizen of Crawford County matters and deserves the best possible service from our office and through our website.
The duty of the County Assessor is to appraise and assess all real property between the first Monday of January and the first of July. All properties in the County shall be assessed according to its value. Property taxes are based on the assessed value of your property. Property tax bills show land and improvement values. Improvements include all assessable buildings and structures on the land. It does not necessarily mean that you have recently "improved your property."
The duty of the County Assessor is to assess all tangible personal property for ad-valorem taxes between the first Monday of January and the Thirty First of May. This includes all residencies and businesses established in Crawford County during this time frame. All taxable tangible personal property assessable during this period shall be assessed according to its market value as of the first day of January of the year of the assessment of the date of acquisition of the tangible personal property was acquired.
Each business operating in the State of Arkansas is required by Arkansas State Law to assess all business personal property by May 31st. The Crawford County Assessor’s office mails all personal business forms January of the current assessment year to any businesses that assessed their property the previous year.
If a business closes please send the forms back, signed, with a short letter of when the business closed. If you need help completing the form, our office will be more than happy to assist with the completion of the form. Forms are available to download off the website. Forms, once completed, can be faxed, mailed, emailed or brought into our office as long as signature is legible and readable (if emailed).
Late penalties of 10% will apply if returned after May 31st.
If no changes to property have changed since last re-appraisal cycle, our County is under a five year cycle, every five years.

How do I purchase tax delinquent properties?All tax delinquent sales are serviced through the Arkansas Commissioner of State Lands who conducts public auctions once a year in which property is located. For more information see the Arkansas Commissioner of State Lands' website.
