Logan County
Arkansas · Most recent sourced sale
County snapshot
Logan County has grown 1.6% since 2020 and still shows positive net migration (238 people in 2024). Demand for housing usually means owners redeem rather than walk away — good for the interest, less good if you were hoping to take the deed.
By population, Logan County is the 30th largest of Arkansas's 75 counties. It has grown faster than the state average (-0.4% across Arkansas), so competition at the auction is likely to be heavier here than in the quieter counties. Of the 2024 change, 238 came from people moving in and 139 from deaths outnumbering births.

Property & tax profile
The median homeowner in Logan County pays $716 a year in property tax — below the Arkansas median of $1,040 (U.S.: $3,119). That is roughly what a typical home here owes for each year it goes unpaid — the debt that the opening bid at a deed sale is usually built from, plus interest and costs. Homes with a mortgage pay a median of $816; homes owned outright, $638.
On a home with a mortgage, the lender has its own reason to pay a delinquent tax bill: the tax lien outranks the mortgage, and a tax deed can wipe out the loan. On a home owned outright, nobody but the owner — or the heirs — has that reason. In Logan County, 52.4% of owner-occupied homes are owned outright (Arkansas: 47.2%, U.S.: 39.4%). That is more than the state as a whole, so a larger share of the delinquent bills here have no lender behind them.
12.7% of all housing units in Logan County are vacant. The figure that matters for a buyer at the tax sale is the Census “other vacant” category — not for rent, not for sale, not a holiday home, but a catch-all that includes foreclosures, homes held up by legal proceedings or family reasons, homes needing repairs, and abandoned ones. Here it is 6.9% of all units (Arkansas: 6.4%, U.S.: 3.6%). Close to the state rate.
Half of the homes in Logan County were built in or before 1979 (Arkansas: in or before 1987). The typical tax bill is 1.2% of the median household income of $58,555 (Arkansas: 1.7%).
