Notes
Arkansas COSL tax-deed county (Fort Smith region). Sebastian County certifies delinquencies to COSL; state runs live auction (Sebastian listed 7/23/2025) and post-auction online inventory. County publishes State Land Sales guidance and GIS tools for locating delinquent parcels — useful DD adjunct but auction authority remains COSL.

Arkansas assesses real property at 20% of true, actual or market value (A.C.A. § 26-26-303(c)); § 26-26-304 fails a county whose ratio study falls outside 18–22% of full fair market value. Measured across 1,669 Arkansas parcels carrying both figures, assessed/market was exactly 0.2000 on every one.
