- Which school attendance zone a property sits in
- Whether a tax estimate reflects the current homestead credit or the upcoming higher credit
How are property taxes calculated for a Cave Springs home?
A Cave Springs home is taxed on its assessed value, not its market price. Arkansas assesses real property at 20% of its true market value, according to the Arkansas Assessment Coordination Division, as of August 2026, and the local millage rate is then applied to that assessed value.
According to the Arkansas Assessment Coordination Division's 2025 Millage Report (2026 collections, published March 2026), the total millage rate for Cave Springs in Benton County is 59.07 mills in the Bentonville District #6 school district area, 53.87 mills in the Rogers District #30 school district area and 49.47 mills in the Springdale District #50 school district area. The rate depends on the parcel's school district area, so confirm it with the Benton County Clerk.
For illustration only, and independent of the median prices above, a $400,000 home would carry an assessed value of $80,000 before any millage is applied, according to the Arkansas Assessment Coordination Division, as of August 2026.
What is the current homestead property tax credit?
The Arkansas homestead property tax credit for a qualifying homestead is $600 per parcel on bills collected starting January 2026, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, as of December 2025, an increase from the prior year's lower amount.
The credit is scheduled to rise to $675 per parcel for assessment years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, according to the Arkansas General Assembly, as of August 2026. Because an assessment year is first reflected on the following year's bills, that higher amount will appear on bills collected in 2027, not on the bills going out in 2026.
