About Arkansas Home And Property Solvers

Arkansas Home and Property Solvers takes a broad approach to property-related legal problems in Little Rock, handling tax disputes alongside bankruptcy and family law matters that often intersect with real property ownership. The firm understands that a property tax crisis rarely happens in isolation. It sometimes shows up during a divorce when a couple is fighting over a house with an inflated assessed value, or during a bankruptcy proceeding where real estate holdings are a central asset. That cross-disciplinary perspective is the firm's defining characteristic. The attorneys here work with clients who are often dealing with multiple stressors at once. They're practical about prioritizing what needs to get done first and realistic about what outcomes are achievable. Little Rock clients who need comprehensive property-related legal help, rather than a narrow specialist, tend to find this firm's range genuinely useful.

How They Can Help

Arkansas Home and Property Solvers offers property tax appeals, assessment reviews, and exemption filings alongside its bankruptcy and family law practice. On the property tax side, the firm handles residential appeals before the Pulaski County Equalization Board, commercial assessment disputes, and applications for homestead and senior exemptions. They review assessment notices for factual errors and build evidence packages using comparable sales and independent appraisals when warranted. In bankruptcy matters that involve real property, the firm advises on how assessed values affect asset schedules, whether tax liens are dischargeable, and how to handle property tax arrears within a Chapter 13 repayment plan. For clients going through divorce, the firm provides property valuation analysis to support equitable distribution arguments and can challenge inflated assessments that are being used to inflate a property's stated value in settlement negotiations. The firm also assists clients with delinquent property tax situations, including payment plans with the county, redemption rights after tax sales, and legal challenges to improper tax sale procedures. This combination of services is unusual in Little Rock and genuinely helpful for clients whose situations don't fit neatly into one practice area.

What to Expect

New clients typically start with a free consultation that covers whichever legal issue is most pressing. For property tax matters, the firm reviews the assessment notice and any relevant property records during that initial meeting. If an appeal makes sense, they move into evidence gathering and filing within the protest window. For clients dealing with overlapping issues, like a bankruptcy that includes property tax arrears, the firm maps out a coordinated strategy rather than addressing each issue in isolation. That means the client gets one legal team handling the interconnected pieces rather than coordinating between multiple firms that may not be talking to each other. Communication is handled through a secure client portal for document sharing, with direct attorney contact available for substantive questions. The firm prioritizes keeping clients informed at each procedural stage so there are no surprises. Billing is transparent, with written fee agreements provided before work begins on any matter.

Service Area

Arkansas Home and Property Solvers serves clients throughout Pulaski County and the surrounding region. Primary service areas include Little Rock, North Little Rock, Maumelle, Sherwood, and Jacksonville. The firm also handles matters in Saline County including Bryant and Benton, and accepts property tax and real estate cases from Faulkner and Lonoke counties. Bankruptcy filings cover the Eastern District of Arkansas, which includes most of the central and eastern parts of the state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I appeal a property tax assessment while going through bankruptcy?
Yes, and it's often worth doing. A lower assessed value reduces the property's stated worth in your asset schedule and can reduce ongoing tax obligations during a repayment plan. The firm can handle both matters simultaneously with a coordinated strategy.
How does divorce affect my property tax exemptions?
If you're the spouse who stays in the home after a divorce, you'll need to ensure the homestead exemption remains properly filed in your name. Transfers through divorce can sometimes reset exemption eligibility, and if a property is ordered sold as part of the settlement, the assessment can affect the division of proceeds.
What happens if I can't pay my property taxes in Arkansas?
Unpaid taxes accrue penalties and interest, and after two years, the property can be certified to the Arkansas Commissioner of State Lands for eventual tax sale. Arkansas property owners do have redemption rights after a tax sale, but the timeline is limited. The firm handles both delinquency negotiations and redemption proceedings.
Can property tax arrears be included in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Yes. Property tax liens are typically treated as secured priority claims in Chapter 13 and are paid through the repayment plan over three to five years. This can stop a pending tax sale and give homeowners time to catch up. The firm coordinates with the bankruptcy trustee to ensure proper treatment of tax claims.
Does the firm handle commercial property tax appeals?
Yes, though primarily for smaller commercial properties and investment portfolios rather than large institutional assets. For complex high-value commercial appraisal disputes involving detailed income-approach methodology, the firm may refer clients to a specialist or collaborate with an outside appraiser.
How do I know if I qualify for the Arkansas homestead exemption?
You must own and occupy the property as your primary residence as of January 1 of the tax year. You don't need to apply annually once enrolled, but you do need to re-file if ownership changes. The exemption reduces the assessed value by $375, which translates to ongoing annual savings depending on your local millage rate.
What is the timeline for a property tax sale in Arkansas?
Properties with unpaid taxes are certified to the Commissioner of State Lands after two years of delinquency. After certification, there's a redemption period before the property is offered for sale at public auction. The exact timeline varies and acting quickly is important. The firm can review where a specific property stands in that process.
Can you help with a property tax issue even if I also need help with something unrelated to taxes?
Yes, and that's actually one of the firm's strengths. If you're dealing with a property tax problem alongside a divorce, a bankruptcy, or estate issues, the firm can take a coordinated look at the full situation. Many clients find that having one firm handle the interconnected pieces produces better outcomes than managing separate specialists.
