Frequently Asked Questions About Maine Property Taxes

What is the average property tax rate in Maine?

Maine has an effective property tax rate of approximately 1.24%, above the national average. A homeowner with a $250,000 property pays roughly $3,100 per year in property taxes.

How does property tax work in Maine?

Maine does not have county-level property taxes. All property taxes are levied by municipalities (towns and cities). Each municipality sets its own mill rate and conducts assessments. The state provides some revenue sharing but does not directly levy property taxes.

Are there property tax exemptions in Maine?

Yes. Maine offers a homestead exemption of up to $25,000 off assessed value for owner-occupied primary residences. Additional exemptions are available for veterans, blind persons, and certain low-income seniors through the Property Tax Fairness Credit.

How do I appeal my Maine property tax assessment?

File an appeal with your local Board of Assessment Review within 185 days of the commitment date (when taxes are officially set). Bring comparable sales data or an independent appraisal. Further appeals go to the Maine Board of Property Tax Review.

What is the Maine Property Tax Fairness Credit?

The Property Tax Fairness Credit is a state income tax credit for low- to moderate-income Maine residents who pay property taxes or rent. The credit can be up to $1,600 depending on income, filing status, and property tax or rent paid.
