Ark. Code Ann. § 2-16-106

The State Plant Board is empowered to recover any identifiable expenses from the owner or other person in possession or control of the property upon which it enforces, maintains, and administers any quarantine that is imposed due to infestations or infections of insect pests, diseases, or noxious weeds. Whenever the owner or other person cannot be found or shall fail, neglect, or refuse to reimburse the board for incurred quarantine expenses, the board shall have and enforce a lien for such expenses upon the property upon which it enforces, maintains, or administers any quarantine, in the same manner as liens are had and enforced upon property for labor and materials furnished by virtue of contract with the owner.
