Town Of South Kingstown: Vision Government Solutions Conducting Property Revaluations

Press release from the Town of South Kingstown:

The Town of South Kingstown has entered into a contract with Vision Government Solutions (VGSI) of Hudson, MA to develop and implement the State-mandated Statistical Property Revaluation, under State Law 44-5-11.6 Currently, under State Law, revaluations are conducted every three years.

The effective date of this Statistical Revaluation is December 31, 2024, with assessments appearing on the July 2025 tax bills.

This project commenced this April with Vision analyzing sales for the remainder of the year that take place in 2024. Vision will also verify the dwellings exterior measurements, and in some cases request a brief interior inspection of properties that were sold during the past year. The intent is to determine market conditions that exist for 2024.

All Vision employees will carry photo identification and a letter of introduction from the Assessor’s Office. Each Vision employee will also have a national criminal background check completed by Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office.

This Statistical Revaluation will not affect your July 2024 tax bill. It will be reflected in next year’s July 2025 tax bill.

In February of 2025, notices will be mailed to property owners informing them of their new proposed assessments.

Detailed property assessment information will be posted on the Town’s website. Owners wishing to meet with Vision employees to discuss or review their new assessments will be able to schedule hearings in March of 2025.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation during South Kingstown’s reassessment program. If you have any questions, please call the Assessor’s Office at 401-789-9331.

Thank you,

Wendy L. Duarte, MPA

Town Assessor
