City Revaluation Project Begins This Month

East Providence is in the process of carrying out its state-mandated revaluation and data collectors will be visiting all buildings in the city to take measurements and perform inspections, the city’s Finance Department announced.

The city hired Vision Government Solutions to complete the revaluation, which will declare the market value of properties as of Dec. 31 2015.

The change in value will be reflected in tax bills issued beginning in May 2016.

The project begins this month in the central area of the city. Data collectors will be identified with documentation issued by the city’s assessor’s office. They will also have photo ID badges and their cars will be registered with the East Providence Police Department.

“All property owners and tenants are respectfully requested to cooperate with data collectors to insure that accurate information is used in the revaluation process,” a city release stated.

Any property owners who have questions concerning the revaluation process can contact the Assessor’s Office during working hours at 435-7574.
