In Arkansas, if you don't pay your property taxes, your home will be forfeited to the state one year following the date the taxes were due, October 15.
Notice Before Certification
Before the county collector transfers the home to the state by certification, the collector must publish a notice in a newspaper not less than 30 days, but not more than 40 days, before the certification. (Ark. Code § 26-37-102).
At any time before the certification date, you can pay off the tax debt and stop the process. (Ark. Code § 26-37-101).
Notice Before the Sale
After getting title to your home, the Commissioner, on behalf of the state, must notify you by certified mail (or by regular mail in some cases) of your right to pay all taxes, penalties, interest, and costs, including the cost of the notice, to redeem the property and stop the tax sale. (Ark. Code § 26-37-301).
The notice must also indicate the sale date, which shall not be earlier than one year after the property is certified to the Commissioner. (Ark. Code § 26-37-301).
