Dear Residents of Johnston,
As Mayor, it is my top priority to govern with fiscal responsibility while ensuring our residents receive high-quality services. Our town will continue to be the leader in economic development and redevelopment throughout Rhode Island. We will accomplish all of these tasks with the utmost professionalism and continue Johnston’s reputation as one of the best communities in the state
to live, work and raise a family.

MapGeo is an intuitive, easy-to-use web mapping application that allows users to choose, map, and review property information in a town-wide context of zoning, flood hazard areas, wetlands, and water resources. This project was supported by the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program with funding provided by the US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration.
Homestead exemption was created as a benefit for homeowners who live in the Town of Johnston and make it their permanent and legal residence. If you know of anyone who is claiming homestead exemption on a property that he or she is not permanently residing in, is rented or vacant, we urge you to make a report to our office. In the interest of expediency, it is extremely helpful and time saving to an investigation if we speak to you personally, but in the end, you may remain anonymous if you prefer.
Please remember that the status of a property on January 1 each year is used o determine the property's value and exemptions status FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. That means if a property owner has a Homestead Exemption and sells his/her property, his/her exemption will remain on the property for the entire calendar year, and will be removed as of January 1 of the next year.
