Bill Delivery
The Tax bill for this coming year will be mailed in the month of July. If you do not receive a bill, it is the responsibility of the tax payer to further investigate whether you are liable to the Town.
Payments After Hours
For your convenience you can leave payments during closed office hours in the drop box located at the entrance from the parking lot. If you choose to utilize this service, please do not leave cash. We recommend leaving checks or money orders with the account number(s) written on them. Although the box is emptied daily, the town cannot be held responsible for any cash payments. As always, your cancelled check is your receipt.

The town does not have a grace period policy, interest will accrue immediately after due date. If you have any questions, please call the Tax Collector's Office 401-539-9000 ext.4.
Missing Bills

Returned Checks
Regretfully, checks that are returned to the town for whatever reason (insufficient funds, closed accounts, etc.) will be assessed a $25 fee plus postage. This fee is required to offset charges incurred when checks are returned by various financial institutions which they are drawn.
