Below is a breakdown of current tax stabilization agreements (TSA for short) in the city of Providence. In theory, tax stabilizations lower tax payments for developers as an incentive for development in the city. However, some deals have stretched over more than a decade. For each property, the amount the owner would normally be paying is displayed, along with the amount actually being paid under the TSA agreement. The difference is the amount of tax revenue the city is not receiving. Data is from the city Internal Auditor and is for fiscal year 2015. Note: several TSA properties are not listed because current data on assessments and estimated tax payments was not available in time for publication.
