Board of Assessors Notice

In accordance with Title 36, Section 706 of the Maine Revised Statutes, the Athens Board of Assessors hereby gives notice to all persons liable to taxation in Athens to file lists of their real and personal property with the Board of Assessors by Tuesday, March 26, 2024.

The Board of Assessors will be in session from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Athens Town Office at 26 Academy St. for the purpose of receiving such lists. Lists may be sent to the Town of Athens, Board of Assessors, PO Box 146, Athens, ME 04912. Under such notice, taxpayers failing to furnish lists of taxable property on or before March 26, 2024 jeopardize their right of any abatement of taxes.

Veterans Exemption

Any veteran who will be 62 years old on or before April 1, 2024 or any veteran who is 100% disabled may be entitled to property tax exemption. You must have served during a wartime period to qualify for the exemption: also, any unmarried widow or widower of a veteran that meets the requirements may be eligible. Anyone who is not already receiving a property tax exemption, but feels they would qualify should contact the Athens Assessor’s office either by mail (PO Box 146, Athens, ME 04912) or phone (654-3471) or pick up an application for a Veteran’s Property Tax Exemption during Town Office hours.

Homestead Exemption

Tax Relief for Maine Homeowners. The Maine Homestead Exemption may lower your property tax bill. It makes it so the town won’t count up to $25,000 of value of your home for property tax purposes. You can qualify if you have owned your home in Maine for at least 12 months. Contact the Town Office for forms.
