2010 Statistical Revaluation
May 14, 2010 - Public Service Announcement
The Assessor’s office has announced that Data Collectors
from Appraisal Resource will be visiting homes in North
Providence that have sold in 2009 and 2010. These sales
inspections are part of the Revaluation process. The
State of Rhode Requires that Cities and Towns update
their values every three years. North Providence
underwent it’s last revaluation in 2007.
Inspectors will have identification badges, and their
automobiles will be registered with the Police
Department. Inspectors will introduce themselves when
they visit a property, and request permission to enter
the property to check information such as room counts
and finished basements. If no one is home at the time,
the inspector will measure the exterior of the property,
and then at a later date, the property owner will
receive a letter requesting that they make an
appointment for the interior inspection. It is important
to note that no valuation decisions are made at the time
of inspection. For any questions regarding this process,
please call the Assessor’s office at 401-232-0900. |
Function
It is this office’s responsibility to provide the residents of North
Providence with a fair and accurate assessment as well as to follow
the rules and guidelines provided to us through Town Ordinances and
the Rhode Island General Laws.
Revaluations
The Tax Assessor’s Office is required to conduct Statistical
Revaluations every 3 years and Full Revaluations every 9 years. A
Statistical Revaluation reviews Sales Data and makes changes in
value based on those sales. Some field work is required, but mostly
limited to exterior inspections. A Full Revaluation is when each
property and business is visited for exterior and interior
inspections to determine if the data we have in the Assessor’s
Office is accurate and based on Sale Review, values are changed.
This Revaluation Cycle and Process is mandated by RI General Law
Chapter 44-5.
A Full
Revaluation was done for 2005 billing. The Statistical Revaluation
is currently underway for the 2008 billing and the company
conducting it is Appraisal Resource (ARC).
At the end of the Statistical Revaluation each homeowner will
receive a letter describing the number of baths, beds & total rooms
along with land size, building size & outbuildings such as sheds,
cabana, above and below ground pools ect…. If this detail is wrong
there will be a phone number to contact the revaluation company
included in this letter and someone from Appraisal Resource will
visit and make the appropriate corrections. For further information
on the revaluation please contact the Tax Assessor’s Office at the
above mention phone number.
