Under Arkansas law (A.C.A. § 18-61-101), a claimant who holds color of title and has paid property taxes may establish adverse possession after 7 years of continuous, open, hostile, actual, and exclusive possession. This 7-year period applies specifically when the claimant has color of title. Arkansas also recognizes a longer period under other adverse possession statutes, so the color-of-title requirement is an important qualifier.
