It is a historic-area name, not a legal boundary. The Quapaw Quarter Association's own history calls "Quapaw Quarter" a fictitious name — "not a legally or even historically defined place" — coined in 1961–62 and first defined in QQA's 1968 articles as a 16-block area (Capitol Ave / Scott St / 9th St / Bond St). As amended, it now covers nine square miles of the oldest part of Little Rock, from the Arkansas River south to Fourche Creek, the old Rock Island tracks east, and the Central High School neighborhood west, taking in the MacArthur Park, Governor's Mansion, and Central High historic districts. Most people use the name for the residential core south of downtown / I-630 around MacArthur Park and the Governor's Mansion.
The Quarter is in the Little Rock School District, but there is no single school trio for the whole Quarter — LRSD assigns students by exact residential address, the Quarter spans nine square miles and several attendance zones, and several schools physically inside the Quarter are magnets that admit by application/lottery rather than by zone (e.g., Booker Arts Magnet Elementary, K–5, 2016 Barber St, 72206; Gibbs Magnet Elementary, 1115 W. 16th St; Dunbar Magnet Middle School, 1100 Wright Ave, 72206). Little Rock Central High School (1500 Little Rock Nine Way, 72202) is the comprehensive high school at the Quarter's western edge. Confirm the assigned schools for a specific address with LRSD before buying.
For a City of Little Rock parcel in the Little Rock School District, the Arkansas DFA 2024 Millage Report (2025 collections) totals 70.0 mills: 46.4 school (LRSD) + 15.1 city + 8.5 county. Arkansas assesses at 20% of market value, so the effective rate is 0.20 × 70.0 mills = 1.40% of market value before the homestead credit and any exemptions — e.g., $4,200/year on a $300,000 home before credits. The Pulaski County Assessor establishes the appraised value; the County Treasurer's formula is the same: taxable value (20% of appraised value) × millage rate.
It depends on which district the house is in — check before you start work. (1) In the Governor's Mansion / Capitol areas, the state Capitol Zoning District Commission regulates design and zoning: a Capitol Zoning permit is required before any exterior work, new construction or site improvement, or any demolition, and it is a prerequisite to a City building permit; routine painting and interior work do not require one. (2) In the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance District, the City of Little Rock Historic District Commission reviews design, and a Certificate of Appropriateness is required before work. (3) A National Register listing by itself is honorary and places no restrictions on a private owner — the QQA notes most National Register districts in Little Rock have no regulating body. The Quapaw Quarter Association itself is a nonprofit advocate; it does not approve or deny projects.
