PROVIDENCE – Thaddeus “Ted” J. Jankowski Jr. has been chosen as Providence’s new tax assessor. In that capacity, he will oversee the city’s property tax assessment functions, including the production of the annual tax roll that is the basis for the city’s tax levy; the maintenance of records of all real estate, tangible and motor vehicle taxes; and policies and procedures used to determine valuations.
Jankowski‘s career in public administration spans more than four decades. Most recently, he was the principal of Jankowski Associates, an assessment and management consulting practice based in Portsmouth, N.H., founded in 2013. That company offers services in assessment administration, tax administration and public finance.
