Tax Assessor's Office MISSION STATEMENT It is the mission of the Barrington Tax Assessor’s Office to collect and maintain accurate data regarding; real estate, motor vehicles, and personal property located in the Town of Barrington. Accurate data results in fair assessments for all taxpayers in Town. The Assessor’s Office encourages you to go to the Vision Appraisal website http://data.visionappraisal.com/BarringtonRI/ and review your property record card. Should you find any errors or omissions, please contact our office and we will schedule an appointment to re-inspect your home (at your convenience) and make any appropriate changes to your property record card. REVALUATION The Town of Barrington (like all other cities/towns in the state of Rhode Island) does not update property values on an annual basis. Rhode Island General Law § 44-5-11.6 mandates that assessments be updated every three years, with a full revaluation every ninth year in that cycle. In 2008, the Town completed its first statistical revaluation (since the completion of a full revaluation in 2005) and is due for its next statistical revaluation in 2011. APPEAL INFORMATION Appeals on Real Estate and Personal property may be submitted starting September 30, 2010 (the date the first tax payment is due). Keep in mind that the date of assessment for your real estate was December 31, 2008, so sales in 2009 or 2010 are not relevant to the value of your real estate as of 12-31-08. Appeals on motor vehicles must be submitted within thirty (30) days of the mailing of your motor vehicle bill.
