What changed in detail
The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration’s list of local sales and use tax changes effective 1 October 2026 records:
- Hempstead County rate increases to 2.750%.

- Stone County rate decreases to 1.000%.

What it means
Three of these five changes are countywide, not city-level, so a rate lookup keyed to city alone can miss them. The annexation-driven city changes are the harder case to track systematically, since they follow municipal boundary changes rather than a published rate decision — the DFA page, not a single dated notice, is the thing to watch.
