Property Tax Stabilization Program

11/02/2022 Julie Atwell (Town Office)

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
