Calhoun County Phone Directory: Key County Offices

Calhoun County offices are the first stop for most public records and contact searches. The County Clerk handles voter registration, county court records, and marriage licenses. The Circuit Clerk processes civil and criminal court filings. Both offices maintain public records subject to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, found at Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-101 et seq. Under that law, government agencies must respond to records requests within three business days. If you are not sure which office holds the records you need, start with the County Clerk.

The County Judge serves as the chief executive of county government in Arkansas. That office oversees the county budget, road maintenance contracts, and general administration. The County Judge also handles county ordinances and coordinates with state agencies on local matters. For most administrative questions about Calhoun County, the County Judge's office is a good starting point. Staff can direct you to the right department if your question falls under a different office.

The Calhoun County Assessor determines the value of real and personal property for tax purposes. You can look up property data through the ARCountyData property portal, which offers free access to assessment records for many Arkansas counties. The Assessor also handles applications for exemptions including the senior property tax freeze under Amendment 79 of the Arkansas Constitution, which protects fixed-income homeowners from rising assessments.

The Assessors Association directory lists contact numbers and mailing addresses for all 75 Arkansas county assessors, making it a useful starting point when you need to confirm current office hours or phone numbers.

Sheriff and Law Enforcement Contact Listings

The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office handles law enforcement for the unincorporated parts of the county. The Sheriff also manages the county jail and maintains arrest records. Many residents use the Sheriff's office directory to report issues, ask about active cases, or request incident reports. Incident reports and non-confidential law enforcement records fall under Arkansas FOIA, though certain records tied to ongoing investigations may be withheld under § 25-19-105.

The page below, from the Calhoun County Sheriff's website, shows the office contact information including the main phone line and address for the department.

If you need records from the Sheriff's Office, submit a written request by mail or in person. The agency must acknowledge the request within three business days under state law. For statewide law enforcement contact listings, the Arkansas State Police directory is also useful, especially for crimes that cross county lines or involve state agencies.

Court Records and the Circuit Clerk

Calhoun County falls under the circuit court system that covers its judicial district. The Circuit Clerk is the official custodian of court filings, judgments, and case records. You can search many Arkansas court records online through the Administrative Office of the Courts case information system. That portal covers circuit courts, district courts, and appellate courts across all 75 counties. Search by name, case number, or attorney to find civil and criminal filings.

Court records subject to Administrative Order 19 govern what can be accessed online versus what requires an in-person visit to the clerk's office. Some sealed records and juvenile cases are not available through public portals. For those, you must visit the Circuit Clerk in person and demonstrate a legitimate purpose under Arkansas law. Staff at the Circuit Clerk's office can guide you through the proper request process.

You can also use the Arkansas Court Case Search tool from the Arkansas Judicial Branch for a slightly different interface to the same underlying court data. Both systems are updated regularly. Older paper records may not be fully digitized, so calling ahead before visiting the clerk's office is always a good idea.

Public Records and FOIA Requests in Calhoun County

Arkansas has one of the stronger open-records laws in the country. Under Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-105, the custodian of records has a duty to make public records available promptly. That means county offices including the Sheriff, Assessor, Circuit Clerk, and County Clerk must respond to written requests within three business days. Fees for copying records are regulated by statute. When a request is expected to cost more than $25, the agency can ask for advance payment under § 25-19-105(d)(3)(A)(iii).

To submit a FOIA request in Calhoun County, identify the office that holds the records you need, then put your request in writing. You do not have to state a reason for the request in most cases. The Arkansas Attorney General's office publishes guidance on FOIA rights and can issue opinions when access disputes arise. If a request is denied, you can appeal through the courts or ask the Attorney General for an opinion.
