Property Taxes in Limestone, Maine

Property taxes in Limestone are assessed annually based on the value of real estate and personal property. These taxes help fund essential municipal services such as public safety, road maintenance, education, and community programs. The town works diligently to ensure that all property assessments are fair, accurate, and in accordance with Maine state law.

If you own property in Limestone, you will receive a tax bill that outlines your assessed value, tax rate, and total amount due. It is important to review this information carefully and contact the town office if you have any questions or believe there is an error in your assessment.

Tax Bills and Due Dates

Tax bills are typically issued once per year, and the due date will be clearly indicated on your statement. Payments must be made by the specified deadline to avoid interest or penalties. If you do not receive your tax bill, it remains your responsibility to contact the town office and request a copy.

To help residents plan ahead, the Town of Limestone encourages property owners to mark important tax deadlines on their calendars and explore available payment options early.

Payment Options

The Town of Limestone offers multiple convenient ways to pay your property taxes:

  • In Person: Payments can be made at the town office during regular business hours.
  • By Mail: You may send a check or money order to the town office. Be sure to include your account information to ensure proper processing.
  • Online Payments: If available, online payment services provide a secure and easy way to pay your taxes from anywhere.

Please note that additional processing fees may apply for certain payment methods, particularly online or credit card transactions.

Interest and Late Payments

Property taxes not paid by the due date will begin to accrue interest as determined by the State of Maine. It is important to pay your taxes on time to avoid additional charges. Continued nonpayment may result in a lien being placed on the property, which can lead to further legal action if left unresolved.

If you are experiencing financial hardship or anticipate difficulty making your payment, you are encouraged to contact the town office as soon as possible to discuss your options.
