Townwide Revaluation

Winter 2026 Update

We have about concluded the 2025 revaluation. The first tax payment was due October 15, 2025 and the second payment is due April 15, 2026. The deadline to file for an abatement is March 1, 2026.   With all that being said we are currently looking to the future and are reviewing sales, permits and data for the 2026 commitment.

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. 

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.
