A. Yes. Through the Assessor’s office you may apply for the Homestead exemption, the blind exemption, and the veteran’s exemption. These programs reduce the assessed value of your property, resulting in a tax savings to you. For more information, contact the Assessor’s Office at (207) 874-8486. In addition, the State of Maine administers a Property Tax Refund program (Circuit Breaker), which is income based. For more information, call (207) 626-8475.
