Smiley announces tax amnesty program for vehicles, tangible taxes

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Providence Mayor Brett Smiley announced a Tax Amnesty Program to allow residents and businesses with overdue tangible and motor vehicle taxes the chance to pay delinquent taxes without accruing interest.

“We know that past-due taxes can be a burden to other opportunities for our community. By offering a window to pay off these taxes without penalties, we hope to provide some relief and a path forward to our residents and local business owners,” said Smiley.

The program will begin Wednesday, May 1 and will run through June 30, 2024.

To qualify, individuals or businesses must submit a written request, signed and dated, including full payment within this 60-day window.

You can submit your application in person or by mail to Tax Collector, Room 203, 25 Dorrance Street, Providence, RI 02903.
