Cranston reports spike in online tax payments, billing registration

CRANSTON – Residents are taking advantage of the option to pay tax bills online.

The city in a news release reported a 170% increase in online tax payments since it started offering electronic bill options in June 2017. Paperless billing registrations have also spiked 856% in the same time frame, according to the release.

In total, the city has collected $58 million in tax revenue via electronic payments over that time. City Treasurer and Senior Revenue Agent David Capuano in a statement lauded the electronic payment option for helping residents during the pandemic, when offices have been closed to the public.

The paperless payment options come through a partnership with Invoice Cloud, an e-payment provider that offers a platform for residents to view and pay tax bills online, by phone or by text.
