20% Homestead Exemption
If you own residential real estate in North Providence and live at the property as your primary residence, you're entitled to a 20% reduction off your 100% assessment. Mixed-use properties (e.g., storefront on the first level with an apartment above) qualify for a 10% exemption.
How to apply
- Recently purchased? An application is mailed to you automatically once your deed is processed. If you haven't received one by December 31 of the year you purchased, contact the Tax Assessor's office.
- Owned a while but not receiving the exemption? Check your current tax bill for the code
HOMEST. If it's missing, call the Tax Assessor's office and they'll mail you an application. - Eligibility: You must have a deeded interest in the property. Family members living there cannot claim the exemption on the owner's behalf — talk to your attorney about a "Life Estate" if needed.

First-time buyer or your fifth time around — here's what I tell every client before we start touring homes.
Get pre-approved first
Talk to a local lender before you shop. You'll know exactly what you can afford and sellers take your offer more seriously.
Know the neighborhoods
Centredale, Marieville, Fruit Hill, Lymansville, Allendale — each pocket of North Providence has its own feel. I'm happy to walk you through them.
Budget beyond the mortgage
Plan for taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance. RI property taxes vary by town — North Providence is competitive, and owner-occupied residents receive a 20% exemption.
Don't skip the inspection
Even on newer homes. It's the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy.
Seller's Guide
Thinking about selling? Here's how to set yourself up for the best possible outcome in our market.
Price it right from day one
Overpriced homes sit. The first two weeks on market matter most — let's price strategically.
Pre-list prep pays off
Decluttering, fresh paint, and a deep clean often return more than the spend.
Professional photos are non-negotiable
Most buyers see your home online first. Great photos drive showings.
Know your timeline
Selling and buying at the same time? Let's map it out so you're never stuck.
