Take Action Now: Oppose the Proposed 63% Increase in the Real Estate Conveyance Tax
A new bill proposed in the Rhode Island General Assembly would increase the real estate conveyance tax by 63% — a change that would significantly impact property buyers, sellers, and the real estate market across the state.
The vote is scheduled for June 17, and time is of the essence. We urge all Rhode Islanders to speak out and contact their state legislators today.

Why This Matters
This tax increase would raise the cost of transferring property in Rhode Island, placing a heavier financial burden on homeowners, buyers, and sellers. It could also slow down housing activity and create challenges for those trying to enter or move within the market.
