Cross County Phone Directory: Government Offices

Cross County government offices are based in Wynne. The County Clerk handles voter registration, county court records, and marriage license records for the county. The Circuit Clerk processes civil and criminal filings and is the official custodian of court records. Both offices must follow the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, § 25-19-101 et seq., which gives the public the right to request and receive most government records. Responses to written requests are required within three business days under state law.

The County Judge runs county administration, manages the road department, and oversees the budget. For any question about county services where you are not sure which office to call, the County Judge's office is a good starting point. Cross County is in the east Arkansas Delta region, and like other counties in that area, it has farmland and rural communities beyond Wynne where county services and state law still apply equally.

The Arkansas General Assembly website maintains the state government directory and the full text of Arkansas law. That site is useful for confirming statutory rights around public records access and for finding any legislative contact serving Cross County. The Assembly Directory lists senators and representatives with office phone numbers for both their district and Capitol locations.

Cross County Assessor Contact Information

The Cross County Assessor determines property values used to calculate tax bills for all real and personal property in the county. The Assessor's records are public and include ownership data, assessed values, and property descriptions. Qualifying senior homeowners can apply for the property tax freeze under Amendment 79 of the Arkansas Constitution, which keeps the assessed value from rising for eligible owner-occupied homes. Applications go through the Assessor's office in Wynne.

The screenshot below is from the Cross County page at the Arkansas County Assessors Association website, which lists the current assessor contact details including phone number and address.

The Arkansas County Assessors Association maintains contact information for all 75 county assessors across the state. That page is a reliable fallback when local office websites are not current. For online property data searches, the ARCountyData portal provides free access to assessment records for participating counties, with searches by owner name, address, or parcel number.

Court Records in Cross County

Cross County circuit court records are available online through the Administrative Office of the Courts case portal. That system covers filings from circuit courts in all 75 Arkansas counties. You can search by party name, case number, or attorney to find civil and criminal case details. Results include filing dates, next hearing dates, and dispositions for closed cases. The system updates regularly, though same-day filings may not appear immediately.

The Arkansas Court Case Search is a second interface for the same data and may be useful if one portal is temporarily slow. Both are subject to Administrative Order 19, which sets the rules for what court records are posted online versus kept at the clerk's office. Sealed cases, most juvenile matters, and some sensitive proceedings are not available through public portals. For those records, contact the Circuit Clerk in Wynne directly and submit a written request under state law.

Paper records from cases filed before electronic systems existed may require an in-person visit or a mail request. The Arkansas Judicial Branch site lists judge assignments and court calendars for Cross County's circuit. Checking that site before a courthouse visit can confirm which judge handles a specific case type and when court is in session.

Property and Tax Records Lookup

Property tax records in Cross County are split between the Assessor, who sets values, and the Tax Collector, who bills and collects payments. Both offices hold public records. The ARCountyData portal is one option for free online searches of parcel and ownership data. The ACTDataScout real property search provides a similar service with mapping features and is worth checking for Cross County coverage.

The NETR Online Arkansas directory lists assessor, recorder, and tax collector contact numbers for Cross County along with links to any county online portals.

Property records on those sites typically include ownership history, acreage, building square footage, and assessed value.

Historical land records for Cross County are preserved at the Arkansas State Archives. The archives hold deed books, early court records, and plat documents going back decades. Researchers tracing land ownership over many years often rely on the State Archives when digitized county data does not go back far enough.

FOIA and Public Records in Cross County

Arkansas FOIA applies to all government agencies in Cross County, from the Circuit Clerk to the Sheriff to the Assessor. Any person can request records in writing. The agency must respond within three business days. If producing the records costs more than $25, the agency can require payment first under § 25-19-105(d)(3)(A)(iii). Fees are capped at actual cost of copying and staff time at a reasonable rate set by the agency.

Denied requests can be appealed through the courts or reviewed by the Arkansas Attorney General. The AG can issue formal FOIA opinions that carry significant weight even though they are not binding court orders. Most disputes resolve at the opinion stage. The AG's office can also answer general FOIA questions at no cost to the requester.
