TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE DUTIES OF A COUNTY PROPERTY ASSESSOR; AND TO PERMIT A PROPERTY OWNER TO OPT OUT OF HAVING THE PROPERTY OWNER'S INFORMATION POSTED ON AN ONLINE DATABASE.

HB 1565 would amend Arkansas law regarding county property assessors' duties. The bill requires county assessors who maintain online databases for property records to allow property owners to opt out of having their information posted there. To opt out, a property owner must submit a written request to the county assessor. This directly affects property owners in Arkansas who desire to remove their information from public online databases and county assessors who manage these records.
