Watch Hill Fire District taxes are based on the town of Westerly property
assessments as of December 31, 2025. The mill rate for taxes is approved
annually at the annual Fire District meeting. Taxes for 2026 have a mill rate
of 0.5250 per $1,000 (roughly 4% increase from 2025) and payment is due
by September 30, 2026. Taxes unpaid after September 30, 2026, bear
interest at the rate of 12% per year. Properties with unpaid taxes may have
services suspended.
As a reminder, bills are mailed to the Taxpayer Address that is registered
with the Town of Westerly. If you would like to update your address, please
do so directly with the Town of Westerly.
Like last year, you may have your tax payment(s) paid via ACH withdrawal
from your checking or savings account. Tax-payers with multiple properties in
the District will be able to pay for all properties simultaneously. To initiate
automatic ACH withdrawals, please fill out the ACH Application form

Once initiated, these automatic withdrawals will continue on to subsequent
