SB 2328: AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION -- PROPERTY SUBJECT TO TAXATION -- TAX EXEMPTIONS -- JAMESTOWN

SB 2328 grants the town of Jamestown the authority to offer property tax reductions to two specific groups: parents whose children died in military service and individuals who are legally blind. Under this bill, Jamestown can provide a tax dollar reduction of up to $5,000 for gold star parents and a separate credit for visually impaired residents, provided the town adopts an ordinance to do so. The legislation also updates statewide tax exemption rules for these groups in other municipalities, allowing various towns to set their own specific reduction amounts or credits. This change does not automatically apply the benefits but gives Jamestown the legal option to create a local program for these residents.

HB 7111: AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION -- PROPERTY SUBJECT TO TAXATION -- TOWN OF JOHNSTON

HB 7111 authorizes the town of Johnston to offer a tax credit to residents aged 65 or older. This provision allows the town council to create an ordinance that reduces property taxes for eligible homeowners, with the specific credit amount and rules to be set locally. The bill applies only to real estate owned and occupied by qualifying residents and is designed to be applied uniformly without considering individual ability to pay. By amending state law, the measure gives Johnston the same flexibility as other municipalities like Bristol and Cranston to provide targeted financial relief to senior citizens.

SB 2319: AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION -- PROPERTY SUBJECT TO TAXATION -- TOWN OF JOHNSTON

SB 2319 authorizes multiple municipalities in Rhode Island, including Johnston, to offer property tax credits to residents aged 65 and older. The bill allows local town councils to set specific rules and dollar limits for these exemptions, which can apply to real estate or personal property depending on the town. These tax breaks are designed to be applied uniformly and are available in addition to any other tax exemptions a person might already qualify for. By enabling these local governments to create their own programs, the legislation gives communities the flexibility to tailor financial relief for their senior residents.
