Updated: Feb 21, 2025 / 11:11 AM CST

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Two things in life are certain death and taxes, and Arkansans are no strangers to the last one.

Every time you make a purchase—whether it’s groceries, gas, or clothing—a portion of your payment goes toward maintaining roads, funding public schools, supporting emergency responders, and paying government employees.

Arkansas is ranked third in the highest average combined state and local sales tax rates.
