Townwide Revaluation

 

September 2025 Update

We finished updating information and values the last week of August and committed taxes August 28, 2025. We expect to have tax bills out the first week of September. If you have questions once you receive your tax bill please call us.  Please visit our Revaluation Resources Tab for more information.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.

 

So Why are values updated?

The more precise answer is: adjustments are made to bring property values in line with the current real estate market while maintaining a certified ratio of 100%. We make adjustments anytime our values fall below our ability to certify at 100% which would be below 91%. The 10% tolerance level also applies to the upper end – 110%. When ratios rise above 110% we reduce property values. 

 

Maine Constitution

Article IX, Section 7 of Maine’s Constitution requires that we conduct a revaluation at least once every ten years. Article IX, Section 8 requires that properties be assessed according to just value. The Maine Supreme Court has consistently ruled that just value is synonymous with market value.
