Bristol Senior Property Tax Freeze
Town of Bristol Tax Assessor
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Bristol Senior Property Tax Freeze in its Bristol, RI research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Rhode Island state law allows Bristol seniors age 65+ with household income below statutory limits to freeze their property tax assessment at current levels. Property value increases will not result in higher tax bills.
