Mayor Fung announces Vision Appraisal to begin the full property revaluation process in Cranston

Cranston, R.I.- As part of the State mandated full revaluation process, Vision Appraisal representatives will be in the field throughout the City of Cranston beginning June 10th.

“We are starting the process in a timely manner so that we can comply with the State mandated revaluation process and to obtain the most accurate information for taxpayers so they are assessed properly” said Mayor Fung

The staff from Vision Appraisal will be doing an interior and exterior inspection of all properties. Because this is a full revaluation, the process will continue throughout the next year and a half. Properties will be inspected, reviewed and building permit work data will be collected as the revaluation work commences on all properties in the City.

Vision staff will carry a photo ID, a letter of identification from the Assessor’s Office, and will have their cars registered with the Cranston Police Department. 

“The safety of our residents is paramount as we have these Vision Appraisal inspectors working throughout our city. If anyone has any question or concerns about their identity, please do not hesitate to ask for ID or to contact our police department for verification” said Mayor Fung

All properties will be re-assessed as of December 31, 2014. Property owners will receive notice of their new assessments during March of 2015, and will have the right to meet with representatives of Vision Appraisal in Cranston to review the proposed assessments at that time.


If there any questions please call the Cranston Tax Assessor’s office at 401-780-3181.
