Why does the old owner's name appear on my tax bill?
The statutory assessment date in Maine is April 1. The Assessor's Office must retain this ownership information for the entire fiscal year that follows. If you purchased your property after April 1, the previous owner's name remains on the tax bill. Every effort is made to forward tax bills to the new owner. However, if you have not received a tax bill by September 25 you should contact the Tax Collector's Office at 207-288-5096.
