What does the Collector do?
The Collector's office collects property taxes to help support schools, cities, roads, jails, and county expenses based on millage rates set by local governments and voters. These taxes are about 1% of the value of your home, car, and other items that you may own.
How do I pay my property taxes?
Taxes may be paid with a check on current accounts only, money order, cash, cashier’s check or credit card. Marion County Collector's Office accepts online credit card payments for taxes or you may pay over the phone with a credit card by calling 870-449-6253. Taxpayers will be able to pay their personal and real estate taxes online by clicking the button below. There is also a drop box for your convenience located on the South side of the square near the handicap accessible entrance.
PLEASE NOTE: Delinquent Taxes
If your personal property taxes are delinquent on or before tax year 2020, you can no longer pay them online or through the Tax Collector’s office. Marion County has contracted with a third-party collection agency to collect delinquent taxes. American Financial Credit Services (AFCS) specializes in government debt recovery. Delinquent business personal property tax, aircraft, boat, trailer, and motor tax may be submitted to AFCS for collection pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated § 26‑36‑209. This does not include real estate tax bills. If we receive a payment that has been turned over to AFCS, our office will return your payment so that you can pay directly to them. You can contact AFCS at 1-888-317-2327 option (2) or www.afcsoptions.com.
