Rhode Island property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Rhode Island?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Rhode Island adds its own break: property tax relief credit (RI-1040H) up to $700 for 2025 for owners or renters 65+ or disabled.

Also: RI-1040H requires household income of $40,730 or less and full-year Rhode Island residence. Rhode Island cities and towns set their own homestead exemptions and rates; there is no statewide amount.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
