About the Scott Property Market
Scott is a city located in Pulaski County, Arkansas. Every property inside the Scott city limits is assessed by Pulaski County Assessor, which applies Arkansas property tax rules uniformly across the county.
Because Scott property values are set at the county level, the $170,000 county median home value and 1.01% effective tax rate apply to homes throughout the city. Homeowners who believe their Scott home is over-assessed have the right to file a appeal directly with Pulaski County Assessor before the August 1 deadline.
Arkansas allows the assessor to defend or adjust the assessed value during a appeal, so Scott homeowners should build a strong evidence-based case before filing — which is exactly what ProtestMax generates for $45.
Scott Property Market Context
Scott homeowners navigate the same Arkansas assessment system as every other community in the state, but local market dynamics mean over-assessments here have their own character.
Arkansas market character
Arkansas has low effective tax rates around 0.6% and a statewide cap (Amendment 79) that limits annual assessed value increases to 5% on homesteads. Despite the cap, many homeowners still end up over-assessed when the county reappraises.
How Arkansas handles appeals
Arkansas homeowners appeal to the County Board of Equalization, then to the County Court. The state is generally protest-friendly, and assessors actively work toward informal resolution.
When to file in Scott
County BOEs typically convene in August. File your petition by the third Monday in August to be heard that cycle.
