Board of Assessors

It is the job of the Thomaston Assessing Department to look at the assessments on land, buildings and personal property and make sure that they are:
fair and equitable; thorough and complete; and in accordance with the standards established by the State of Maine.

It is our goal to see that each and every assessment is done according to the exact same formula and that, in the end, everyone is assessed for taxes in the proper proportion.

The Assessor's Agent is supervised by the elected Board of Assessors. A tax assessor evaluates the monetary worth of multiple properties in an entire neighborhood. The purpose of their assessments is to determine how much property tax owners should pay to the town, county, and school district in which the properties are located. The Assessors Department is responsible for accurately determining the value of property located within the Town of Thomaston for the purpose of taxation. Assessors are obligated under law to assess all property at its just value as of the 1st of April each year. This department is also responsible for the administration of all property tax data records. We maintain accurate parcel ownership (data) based upon recorded property transactions we receive from the Registry of Deeds and all map data pertinent to accurate parcel identification.

 

Please email the agent for copies of property record cards or other data.
