Arkansas rules that affect sellers
Transfer tax
Arkansas charges a real property transfer tax of $3.30 per $1,000 of actual consideration on transactions over $100 (Arkansas Code section 26-60-101 et seq.), about 0.33% of the sale price, paid through stamps on the deed. Custom on who pays varies: some sources say the seller typically pays, while others report it is often split equally, so the purchase contract controls.

Seller disclosure
Arkansas has no state law requiring home sellers to give a property condition disclosure. Many listings use the voluntary Arkansas REALTORS Association Seller Property Disclosure form, and real estate licensees must make reasonable efforts to learn and disclose facts material to a property's value or desirability.

Who handles the closing
Arkansas home sales are commonly closed by title companies. An attorney is not required for closing, though some sellers choose to hire one.

Also worth knowing
Under Arkansas Code section 17-10-101, the fact that a home was the site, or suspected site, of a homicide, suicide or felony is not a required disclosure, though the Real Estate Commission advises agents to answer truthfully if a buyer asks directly.

Also worth knowing
The Real Estate Commission says agents who know a home was used to make methamphetamine must disclose it, because cleanup costs materially affect value.
