About Property Taxes in Maine
Maine property taxes are administered at the municipal level — the state has no county-level property tax. Each of Maine's cities and towns has its own assessor who determines property values and its own mill rate. Property is assessed at "just value," which means 100% of market value (though practice can vary by municipality). Maine has no state property tax. All property tax revenue goes to municipalities to fund local services and education. Due dates vary by municipality, with most bills due in the fall or split between fall and spring.
Payment & Assessment
Property tax due dates in Maine vary by municipality: Most towns bill annually with taxes due in September or October. Some municipalities split the bill into two semi-annual payments, typically due in fall and spring. A 7% annual interest rate (or the rate set by state law) applies to late payments. Contact your town tax collector for your specific due date and payment options. Most municipalities accept payment online, by mail, or in person.
