INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
FILING
A
VEIDCLE
VALUE COMMISSION APPEAL
FORM
I. An appeal must be filed with your local tax assessor within forty-five (45) days
of
the mailing
of
your
tax
bill.
2. Two (2) copies
of
the appeal form must be submitted along with a copy
of
your tax bill.
3.
After the appeal form has been completed and a copy
of
the
tax
bill attached, it must
be
returned to
your
local assessor's office. The assessor will verify
if
the value
was
indeed
set
by the Rhode Island Vehicle
Value Commission and complete the portion
of
the form that applies. (See note below
.)
4. App.ea! forms are then submitted to the Vehicle Value Commission by
the
assessor. The commission
will notify the assessor
of
their decision within twenty (20) days. The assessor must in turn notify
the taxpayer within ten
(10) days
of
the receipt
of
the commission's decision.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Only values
set
by the Rhode Island Vehicle Value Commission can be appealed to said commission.
If
the value was set by the local assessor, the appeal must be handled
at
the municipal level.
Any
appeals
forwarded to the commission for values
that
were not set
by
that commission will be returned unanswered.
• Under the Rhode Island General Laws section 44-34-11 there are
NO
provisions to permit adjustment
of
the excise value due to physical condition, high mileage, and/
or
the cost
of
acquisition. Therefore no value
adjustment
will be made for any
of
those reasons.
• Assessors may adjust for a diesel engine.
• During
the
appeal process, taxes must be paid within the time
de
signated by your city or town.
