Maine has no statewide property tax cap; York County reassesses at market value, and your tax bill will reflect the current fair market value of your home at purchase. Apply for the Maine Homestead Property Tax Exemption ($7,500 off assessed value for primary residences) with the York County Assessor's office before April 1 of the tax year following your purchase. Request your property's assessment card from the assessor and confirm whether your municipality conducts revaluations on a cyclical schedule (typically 5 or 10 years), as a revaluation could significantly increase your assessed value.
