Rhode Island Property Taxes Surge

Rhode Island’s property taxes are surging to their highest levels in a decade, with a 3.7% statewide jump and seven towns exceeding the 4% legal cap — a troubling trend amid skyrocketing home values that have climbed over $61 billion in three years. Residents face some of the nation’s highest tax burdens, while businesses and renters are hit hardest: commercial properties now pay 54% more than residential ones, and many rental units — classified as commercial — are taxed at higher rates, with exemptions shifting costs onto tenants. The result? A tax system that’s becoming increasingly unbalanced and unaffordable for everyone. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
