Living in North Smithfield, Rhode Island

What is North Smithfield, Rhode Island like? North Smithfield sits in the far northwestern corner of Providence County, in the Blackstone River Valley near the Massachusetts line. It's a mostly residential, semi-rural town built around historic mill villages — Slatersville, Union Village, Forestdale — with reservoirs, wooded lots, and newer neighborhoods spread between them.

Slatersville, laid out in the early 1800s, is often called one of America's first planned mill villages, and its village green and stone church still anchor the town. Below is a look at the villages, how property taxes work, and where the market stands now. For current prices and days on market, see the market snapshot near the top of this page.

North Smithfield Property Taxes

Rhode Island communities set their property-tax rates every year, and the amount that applies to a given home depends on its assessed value and how the town classifies the property.
