R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-53-1 — Levy upon property

If any person liable to pay any tax or surcharge that is required to be remitted to
the tax division pursuant to § 39-21.1-14 neglects or refuses to pay the tax within ten (10) days after demand, it shall be
lawful for the tax administrator to collect the tax, and any further sum that is sufficient
to cover the expenses of the levy, by levy upon all property and rights to property
belonging to the person or on which there is a lien provided in this title or for
the payment of the tax. If the tax administrator makes a finding that the collection
of the tax is in jeopardy, notice and demand for immediate payment of the tax may
be made by the tax administrator and, upon failure or refusal to pay the tax, collection
of the tax by levy shall be lawful without regard to the ten (10) day period provided
in this section.
