More land tax relief for disabled veterans

For assessment years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, Arkansas expands its disabled-veteran homestead property tax exemption. The land limit rises from 40 acres to up to 160 acres, alongside the home. This covers eligible disabled veterans, surviving spouses, and minor dependent children who occupy the home as their main residence. The land must form one connected area next to the home and cannot be used for business.
