Financial Information
Real estate tax levies are the primary funding source of local taxes to fund municipal services and education. These bills are affected by federal and state mandates, labor laws, and budget expenses that cannot be controlled by the town, such as the escalation in health care and pension expenses.
The charts attached below compare Burrillville to all other cities and towns in Rhode Island. Comparing tax bills is not an exact science because the services or levels of service offered are not equal among all municipalities and/or schools.
The independent rating agencies, Fitch Ratings, Ltd. and Moody’s Investor Service, have written up summaries of the financial condition of our town. Those reports are also included below.
