Real Estate and Personal Property Tax Commitments
Real Estate Tax Commitment information is recorded each year. This document contains a list of all properties, including (among other information) owner name, assessed value of land and buildings, and current taxes.
Property Tax Deferrals/Abatements
The State of Maine and the Town also offer several programs to assist individuals who may have difficulty paying their property taxes:
- Property Tax Fairness Credit (refundable state income tax credit)
- Maine State Property Tax Deferral Program
- Town Abatements. The Select Board may also defer or abate a property owner’s taxes for those in need of financial assistance. Applications for abatement/deferral are available at the Town Office.
Exemptions
While most real estate and business personal property is subject to property taxes, there are several exemptions (or reductions in taxable value) available to property owners.
