The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) reminds candidates for political office and their supporters that it is unlawful to place campaign signs on highway right of ways in Arkansas.
State laws permit only official directional, informational, and regulatory highway signs on state-owned highway property; the local ARDOT Area Maintenance Office removes all other signs.
ARDOT personnel will also remove any “yard” signs placed on the right of way and will contact owners of large “billboard” signs to remove them.
Owners can pick up the signs during normal business hours at the nearest ARDOT Area Maintenance Office
Arkansas property taxes are due today, October 15.
Property owners can pay their taxes online, in person at the county courthouse, or by mail.
The amount of property tax owed is based on the assessed value of the property, which is determined by the county assessor.
Failure to pay property taxes in Arkansas can result in penalties and interest charges, and in extreme cases, the property may be subject to a tax sale to recover the unpaid taxes.
Officials remind residents that there are three payment options:
--Walk-in payments are accepted at your county collector’s office
--Mailed-in payments must have a postmark no later than Oct. 15
--Online payments can be made at portal.arkansas.gov
