MaineDOT Work on Tenney Hill/Main St. Starting Sept. 8

09/03/2026 (Roads and Sidewalks)

A MaineDOT contractor will be working on the storm drain system in the vicinity of the intersection of Tenney Hill/Main St. and Parker Point Road (roughly between the Congregational Church and Town Hall). The work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, September 8 and is expected to continue through the rest of the week.

Temporary No Parking Areas. The construction crews will require access to the catch basins along this segment of the road, some of which are on the curb side of marked parking spaces. MaineDOT and the contractor will be placing cones with “NO PARKING” signs where the work will take place, and will move these cones to preserve empty parking spaces as the work progresses.

Potential Single-Lane Traffic. Although the crew hopes to avoid needing to close any of the traffic lanes, this may prove to be necessary. If so, the contractor will have flaggers in place to coordinate alternating traffic in a single open lane.

2026 Tax Bills

08/20/2026 (Town Office)

The 2026 taxes were committed 8/20/2026 and will be due 10/15/2026. We apologize for the lateness of these bills. We will be folding and mailing them out as quickly as possible, but in the meantime, you are welcome to find your bill(s) in the PDFs below. They are organized alphabetically by the last name of the first listed owner. If you notice that your mailing address is incorrect, please fill out and send in this change-of-address form so that your bill reaches you next year. As a reminder, per state statute, the bills are addressed and mailed to whomever owned the property on April 1, 2026; however, anyone is welcome to pay the bill.

Please note that these bills will show any prepayments toward 2026, but they do not display past-due balances. If you think you have a past-due balance, please call the Clerk’s Office and we can check for you. As always, all payments received are applied to the oldest outstanding balance first.

Camper Trailer Registration – New Requirement

07/28/2026 (Town Office)

Effective 7/29/2026, the excise tax on camper trailers (including horse trailers with living quarters) will be calculated according to the length of trailer, not the MSRP. Therefore, in order to register or reregister your camper trailer, we will need you to know the trailer’s length, excluding the hitch, rounded down to the nearest foot. We only need you to supply this information once; our system should then keep it for future renewals. We understand that the added requirement might be frustrating, but in most cases, this change will reduce the amount of excise tax you pay. We will also no longer need new trailers to be registered between 9:00 AM and noon; you may do so any time we are open. Please contact the clerk’s office with any questions.

Blue Hill Heritage Trust has advised the Town that, due to work being conducted on the wireless carriers’ equipment on Blue Hill Mountain, the hiking trails on Blue Hill Mountain will be closed on Monday, July 13. In addition, the field to the south of the parking area will be used to stage equipment and as a helicopter landing area, starting Sunday, July 12.

There likely will be an additional closure, either later in the same week or early in the next. We will post any associated closures when the specific timing is known.
