Tax Revenue per Acre
Every parcel in East Providence pays into the same city budget, but they do not pull equal weight. Type an address below to see how much taxable value, and how much estimated property tax, a parcel produces for each acre of land it occupies, and how that compares with the rest of the city. The full dataset behind this page is available as a CSV download.
How these numbers are calculated
Source. City of East Providence assessor data as published through the city's MapGeo property viewer (extract dated ), covering parcels. Values are the Fiscal Year 2026 assessments (December 31, 2024 revaluation). Individual property cards are on the assessor's online database.
Tax levy per acre is the parcel's estimated annual property tax divided by its land area. The estimate applies the FY2026 rates announced by the city: $13.35 per $1,000 of assessed value for residential property (one to five family homes, residential condominiums and residential vacant land) and $21.06 per $1,000 for commercial, industrial, apartment and mixed use property. Mixed use buildings are taxed entirely at the commercial rate in East Providence. Government, religious, educational and charitable parcels are shown as tax exempt. No exemptions, freezes or appeals are applied, so a parcel's actual bill may differ.
Assessed value per acre is the total assessment divided by land area, before the tax rate is applied. The city's extract reports land area rounded to the nearest 0.01 acre; where the mapped parcel outline agrees with that figure, the more precise mapped area is used, otherwise the assessor's rounded figure is used.
Shared lots. Condominiums and other units that share one lot are shown as the whole complex: the sum of all unit assessments over the complex's land.
Rankings compare tax levy per acre across every taxable parcel in the city with land area recorded. Group medians are the middle parcel of each land use class. The highest and lowest lists default to developed parcels (parcels with buildings); switch to all taxable parcels to include vacant land and utility rights of way.
This is an informational tool, not a tax bill. Figures update when the city posts new assessments.
Where the levy comes from
Every residential lot in East Providence, shaded by its estimated property tax per acre. Darker lots carry more of the city's tax base per acre of land. Hover for the figure, click for the details, or look up an address above to zoom to its quarter mile.
Every parcel's estimated FY2026 property tax divided by the land it occupies. Higher is better for the city: that land pays for more of the streets, pipes and services around it. Small lot neighborhoods rank far above large lot and big box land.
The city is maintained by the acre, and East Providence is nearly out of acres. Land that produces little is carried by land that produces a lot, so the question is how to add value on land that is already served. The budget rises about 4 percent a year whether or not anything is built; the Tract P&L page shows who pays when nothing is.
Look up your block and the places you shop. When a cottage court, accessory dwelling or small building is proposed on an existing street, ask what it produces per acre against what is there now, and what new infrastructure it needs.
