Property taxes

The Town of Long Island collects property taxes twice a year on September 15th and March 15th. If you have questions about your property taxes please contact Tax Collector, at 766-5820 during regular business hours by e-mail at townoflongisland@myfairpoint.net.

You can also download the property tax database, which is a public record. This is a PDF file so you will need PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader to open it..


Tax relief

 The Maine Revenue Service administers several programs that offer tax-relief to permanent residents:

  • The Homestead Exemption reduces the taxable value of a permanent residence by $13,000. Other exemptions are available for veterans, blind property owners, and others.
  • The Property Tax and Rent Refund Program, also called the "circuit-breaker," provides reimbursements to people whose property taxes or rent are more than 4% of their income.
