How Arkansas contract deadlines are counted
Most contingencies in this form are counted in business days, which the form does not define. We skip weekends and only the major holidays, so a date may show earlier than a broader holiday list would give, never later. Only closing moves off a weekend or a day Arkansas banks are closed.
- Standard form
- Arkansas REALTORS Real Estate Contract (Residential), 2026 edition
