Home energy rebates

Arkansas wasn’t listed as taking applications for the federal Home Energy Rebate programs (HOMES or HEAR) in an Oct 12, 2026 review of state program pages. Programs open and close as money runs out, so check your state energy office. The federal tax credits for efficiency upgrades and home solar ended after 2025. What’s left in 2026.

Gas lawn equipment

We don’t list any local gas leaf blower bans in Arkansas yet. All local bans.

Clotheslines

Arkansas has no right-to-dry law, so HOA rules on clotheslines generally stand. Right-to-dry laws.
