“We’ve revised our annual guide to make it easier for Rhode Islanders to learn whether they qualify for any tax-saving benefits from their community,” said Susanne Greschner, chief of the Division of Municipal Finance. “We expect they’ll find this new format easier to read and useful.”
The new guide offers a comprehensive listing of:
• All senior tax exemptions and credits offered by all 39 cities and towns in Rhode Island;
• All tax exemptions and credits offered to qualifying veterans, unmarried widows and widowers, veterans with service-connected disabilities, Gold Star parents, and former POWs.
The guide also lists:
• Tax exemptions and credits for specially adapted housing;
• All municipal tax-freeze programs;
• All municipal tax-deferral programs;
• All municipal exemptions for the visually impaired;
• A listing of all qualifying service dates and conflicts, and
• Information on the property tax relief program authorized by state law and administered by the Rhode Island Division of Taxation.
