Assessing Department
Mission Statement
The City Assessor is charged by State law with discovering, describing, and valuing property, as well as the ownership of that property, for the purpose of taxation. Annually, the Assessor prepares a list of these properties and commits the assessments to the City Tax Collector for collection. The records compiled by the Assessor are made available for public inspection at City Hall. The Assessing Office then reports to the Maine Revenue Services - Property Tax Division regarding its activities for the year. The most recent State Valuation and state sales ratio analysis is available here.
The fiscal year runs from July 1st to June 30th. Taxes are assessed as of April 1 of each year. Taxes are assessed for the year going forward, so for example, taxes assessed on April 1, 2022 are for Fiscal Year 2023.
Mill Rate
The mill rate for Fiscal Year 2023 (July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023) is $20.40/$1,000 of valuation. This mill rate is used for both real and personal property.
