How Are Property Tax Rates Calculated in Maine?
There are property tax exemptions available in Maine that may reduce one's overall tax bill. These exemptions include those for blind individuals, veterans, and a homestead exemption.
The Homestead Exemption allows for a tax reduction of no more than $25,000, which is applied toward the assessed property value. In order to qualify for the homestead exemption, the applicant must be a permanent Maine resident and have owned a their residence for the 12 months prior to April 1.
A Veteran Exemption of up to $6,000 is available for war veterans 62 years or older; and to veterans who are 100% disabled.
Legally blind individuals are eligible to receive $4,000 under Maine's Blind Exemption.
These exemptions require an application to be submitted on or before April 1.
Additional information can be found on the Maine Revenue Services website.
