Arkansas: total loss threshold and rebuilt title rules
What Arkansas’s own pages print, word for word. Kind of rule, by our sorting: Percentage.
This is a reference to quoted official text, not legal, tax, insurance or professional advice. Rules change; confirm with the agency before acting.
Total Loss Threshold is an independent reference. It is not a government site and is not affiliated with any state agency, legislature or insurance company.
When is a vehicle salvage or a total loss in Arkansas, in the state’s words?
“"Salvage vehicle" means a motor vehicle which: (A) Is water-damaged as defined in this part; or (B) Sustains any other damage in an amount equal to or exceeding seventy percent (70%) of its average retail value, as listed in the most current issue of any pricing guide approved by the Secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration for use in determining the percentage of the damage”
Citation as the page prints it: 27 CAR § 14-101. Definitions

The source is the Code of Arkansas Rules, the state’s administrative rules site. The Arkansas Code itself is hosted by a commercial publisher and we did not request it.
We found no inspection or inspection fee sentence in the rule sections we read. The affidavit sentence is quoted below.
