Fort Smith, AR — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 72905, near Fort Smith, the county-level property tax rate sits at 0.62%, so a home's assessed value drives the annual bill more than the rate itself. A $150,000 house would generate roughly $930 in yearly property taxes at that percentage. What residents actually keep depends on earnings against both that bill and the 9.50% combined sales tax charged on purchases. The sales tax takes a bite every time someone spends, while the property tax arrives once a year based on what the home is worth. Together they shape how far a paycheck stretches in this area.
