Our State Legislature recently enacted a law creating the Property Tax Stabilization Program, which essentially “freezes” the amount of property tax a resident must pay if they’ve lived in and owned a Maine home for at least 10 years and will be 65 years of age by April 1, 2023. 

You may qualify if you are:

• Age 65 or older
• A permanent resident of Maine
• Have owned a Maine homestead for at least ten (10) years, and
• Be eligible for a homestead exemption on the property you are applying for

For a full description, details and application form, please visit the Maine Revenue Services page at:

Keep in mind: the deadline to apply for the program is December 1, 2022

To all those looking for Porta Potties in Blue Hill – we’re hearing from some….

We are trying VERY hard to get 4 Porta Potties – 2 at the Town Park and 2 at the South Blue Hill Wharf. We have one headed to the Town Park (being serviced we think) and will hopefully be there very soon.

Because of the increased demand caused by events in the area, new home construction and upgrades, manpower and material shortages, as well as other unknown factors, they are DARN hard to get. We are not alone in this issue.

We will get the other three (3) delivered as soon as we can confirm a source that services (and regularly maintains) units on the Peninsula and will have them available. We hope sooner than later.

The Town Office will be closing at 3pm June 15th. We will be open again Thursday June 16th at 8am.

Due to equipment upgrades the Town Office will be closing at 2pm on Thursday May 12th and also all day Friday May 13th. Normal business hours are expected to resume Monday, May 16th at 8 a.m.

Starting Wednesday April 6th, we will no longer be open until 5:30pm. We will be closing at 4pm along with the other days. Our hours will be Monday – Thursday 8am-4pm Friday 8am-3pm.
