Miller County residents can pay property taxes online

- —Jim Williamson

Miller County residents have options to securely pay their property taxes online.

“The collector’s office will accept credit card payments, meaning residents can avoid a trip to the collector’s office and pay their taxes in minutes from anywhere with an Internet connection at ar.gov/millerprop­tax,” Miller County tax collector Cathy Hardin Harrison said.

“This is a convenient and mobile-friendly payment option to our taxpayers,” Harrison said. “Arkansans are increasing­ly connected to the world through their smartphone­s, and I am happy to make it easy for constituen­ts to pay their taxes on the go with just a few taps, if they wish.”

Taxpayers can also register for a service called eNotify when paying their tax bill online. After registerin­g, eNotify will alert taxpayers by email when their statements are ready, saving the county the costs of paper, postage and manpower used in mailing forms.

“The Miller County Tax Collector partnered with the state’s eGovernmen­t service provider, Informatio­n Network of Arkansas (INA), to develop the secure payment system, which ensures privacy, security and data integrity. Credit card transactio­ns include a processing fee to cover the cost of the system, which INA developed for the county free of charge,” she said.

Miller County personal property and real estate taxes are due March 1 and must be paid before Oct. 15. Residents and business owners can pay their county taxes online with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. Payments can also be made in person at the Miller County Courthouse by phone, or by mailing a check payable to the Miller County tax collector.
