Tax Collector
Mission
The Tax Collector’s Office is responsible for collecting all real estate and personal property taxes.
Duties of the Tax Collector
Please note: As a property owner, you must make sure your taxes are paid, regardless of whether or not you have received your tax bill, RIGL 44-7-7. If you do not receive your tax bill, which is not being paid by an escrow account, don't hesitate to contact this office at (401) 377-7781. If you are disputing the assessment of your tax, you are required to pay the original amount billed until you receive notification otherwise.
Please keep in mind the Town does not receive payments electronically from bill pay. When scheduling a payment date, it is important to schedule the payment before the due date to allow enough time for the paper check to be cut and mailed to the town. Your bank will provide an estimate of the number of days to allow for (typically 7-10 days). Payments that are not received by the town by the quarter-end due dates will be considered late.
