Settle in to the City

Check off your post-move to-do list with ease. From registering your vehicle to paying property taxes, many essential services can be completed online or by appointment.

Get on the Road

Check a few driving essentials off your list. Visit the DFA to register your vehicle, complete your assessment, and obtain your Arkansas driver's license and license plate.

Cast Your Vote

Register to vote at a state revenue office, county clerk's office, or any public library branch. You can also mail your application at least 30 days before the election.

Pay Your Taxes

After assessing your property with the Pulaski County Assessor, you can pay your property taxes online, by phone, or in person at the Treasurer's office.

Sales Tax

As you settle into your new home, it's helpful to know that Little Rock's combined sales tax rate is 8.625%. Arkansas has eliminated the state sales tax on groceries, though local city and county taxes still apply.

Lights, Water, Action!

You've found the perfect house to call home, now it's time to light it up, cool it off, and turn on the sprinklers. Whether it's gas, electric or water, it's easy to get your utilities set up and turned on.

Recycling & Waste Services

Every resident does their part in keeping the Natural State green, and that means ensuring that trash and recyclables are put out for pickup. Don’t wait until your bin is full to check when your trash and recycling will be picked up.
