The controversial $18 assessment that appeared on property tax bills for landowners in six north Arkansas counties beginning in 2018 is no longer being collected, but the legal battle isnt over.
More than $2 million was collected from landowners in Carroll, Baxter, Boone, Marion, Newton and Searcy counties in 2018 and 2019 before a series of class-action lawsuits filed by Fayetteville attorneys Matt Bishop and Wendy Howerton resulted in judges declaring the fee illegal.
A hearing is scheduled Monday, May 10, in Pulaski County Circuit Court to determine what should happen with the money that was collected. The courthouse remains closed to the public because of COVID-19 protocols and only one attorney per client will be allowed inside the courtroom.
