Tax bills & appeals
Tax bills were mailed in Glocester on Tuesday, Nov. 15 and due to the delay in mailing of the bill, Town Clerk Jean Fecteau has announced that property owners have until Friday, Dec. 9 to pay their first quarter bill.
The appeal period for tax bills is 90 days from the first due date of Tuesday, Nov. 1 according to state law. Appeals must be filed with the assessor’s office by Monday, Jan. 30, and once the deadline has passed, the property owner loses all legal right to apply for a possible abatement.
Applications for an appeal can be found online here, as well as in the assessor’s office.
