Officials warn property-tax changes and a citizen initiative could cost Springdale about $1 million Assistant City Administrator Stephanie Morgan said five property-tax reform bills passed in December 2025 will change how inside millage is calculated and that a separate citizen initiative to abolish property taxes could eliminate roughly $1,000,000 of Springdale's inside-millage revenue if enacted, with no state-level plan in the address for recouping that loss.
