Property Taxes in Warwick
Warwick's property tax picture runs genuinely ABOVE the national comparison figure -- Ownwell-cited data puts the city's median effective rate at approximately 1.45% -- though this record discloses that this rate matches, rather than exceeds, Rhode Island's own statewide median, a real, notable difference from some other markets in this project's dataset.

Ownwell-cited data puts Warwick's median effective property tax rate at approximately 1.45% (ZIP codes 02889 and 02886) -- above the ~1.02% national comparison figure used consistently across this project's records. This record discloses a real, disclosed difference from some other Tier A+ records in this project directly: the same citation put Rhode Island's own statewide median effective rate at approximately 1.45% as well -- meaning Warwick's rate matches, rather than exceeds, the state median, unlike this project's Missoula, MT record, whose city-specific rate ran meaningfully above Montana's statewide median.
The City of Warwick's Own 2026 Residential Rate
The City of Warwick's own assessor-cited 2026 residential property tax rate runs $19.26 per $1,000 of assessed value -- movers can use this rate directly against a specific property's assessed value (as distinct from its market value) to estimate an annual tax bill, though the assessed-to-market-value ratio should be confirmed directly with the City Assessor's office.
Confirm a Specific Address Directly With the City of Warwick Assessor
Given real, disclosed variance in how effective rates are calculated and reported across sources, buyers and movers should confirm a specific target property's current assessed value, applicable rate, and total tax bill directly with the City of Warwick Assessor's Department rather than relying on a citywide average alone.
