Arkansas land selling questions

Is there a transfer tax when I sell land in Arkansas?

Yes. Arkansas charges a real property transfer tax of $3.30 per $1,000 of actual consideration on transactions over $100. It is levied on each deed or other writing that conveys land that is sold. It also applies to transfers of mineral rights. Ask your title company for the exact amount on your sale. Source: Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, Real Property Transfer Tax (Ark. Code 26-60-101 et seq.).

What happens if I don't pay property taxes on my Arkansas land?

Your county can certify the land to the Commissioner of State Lands, and it can then be sold at a public auction. On certification, legal title vests in the State of Arkansas, but the state does not take physical possession. The sale date can be no earlier than one year after certification. Anyone can redeem the parcel before the sale by paying all taxes, penalties, interest, fees and costs due. The Commissioner of State Lands can tell you if your parcel is certified. Source: Arkansas Commissioner of State Lands, Rules 2023 Edition.

How much does it cost to redeem tax-delinquent land in Arkansas?

All the delinquent taxes, plus interest, penalties and costs. Arkansas law adds 10% simple interest and a 10% penalty for each year of delinquency. You also pay the costs incurred by the county and the Commissioner of State Lands. Under Act 259 of 2025, a qualifying disabled veteran redeeming their own parcel from the Commissioner does not owe the penalty. Ask the Commissioner of State Lands for a petition to redeem that shows your exact amount. Source: Ark. Code 26-37-302, as amended by Act 259 of 2025.

Can I get my Arkansas land back after a tax sale?

Not by redeeming it. Commissioner of State Lands sales are final, and a parcel cannot be redeemed on the sale date or after it. You must redeem by 4 p.m. on the last business day before the sale date. Act 241 of 2023 ended the old rule that allowed redemption for 10 days after a sale. If the parcel does not sell at auction, you can still redeem it until the state sells it later. Redemptions in the last 30 days before a sale must be paid in certified funds or made online. Source: Arkansas Commissioner of State Lands, FAQ (Ark. Code 26-37-202 and 26-37-310, as amended by Act 241 of 2023).

Do I get any money if Arkansas sells my land for back taxes?

Possibly, if the sale brings in more than what is owed and you claim it in time. Money above the taxes, fees, penalties, interest and costs is held in trust for the former owner. Some other debts, such as delinquent personal property taxes, are paid from it first. The Commissioner keeps 10% of what remains, up to $500. Former owners can claim it starting one year after the sale. Unclaimed excess proceeds are generally held for two years and then go to the county.

Can I sell my Arkansas land if I live in another state?

Yes. You do not need to live in Arkansas to sell Arkansas land to us. Liberty Acres buys land anywhere in the US and closes through a title company. We pay back taxes and all closing costs, and there are no agents and no commissions.
