About Property Taxes in Rhode Island
Rhode Island property taxes are administered at the city and town level — the state has no county-level property tax government. Each of Rhode Island's 39 municipalities has its own assessor and tax rate. Property is assessed at full fair market value (100%), and reassessments are required at least every nine years, though many cities reassess more frequently. Rhode Island has no statewide homestead exemption, but individual cities and towns often offer local exemption programs for owner-occupants, seniors, and veterans that can meaningfully reduce tax bills.
Payment & Assessment
Property tax due dates in Rhode Island vary by municipality. Most cities and towns bill quarterly or semi-annually: Quarterly: Due approximately July 1, October 1, January 1, and April 1. Semi-annual: Due approximately July 1 and January 1. Contact your local tax collector for your specific due dates. Interest of 12–18% per year (varies by municipality) applies to late payments. Most cities and towns offer online payment.
