Property Tax Bills Across Craighead County, Arkansas

Property tax bills in Craighead County are based on the assessed value of a home, not its market price.

The median tax bill is $1,389.00 in Jonesboro and $382.00 in Egypt, showing how location within the county can affect what homeowners owe. For many households, the annual bill falls between $717 at the 25th percentile and $1,901 at the 75th percentile, while the 90th percentile reaches $2,912.
