Property Tax Calculation
Market value represents "the price in a competitive market a purchaser, willing but not obligated to buy, would pay an owner, willing but not obligated to sell, taking into consideration all the legal uses to which the property can be adapted and might reasonably be applied". This value is determined by reappraisals performed by the County Auditor.

Assessed Value
Assessed values in Knox County are an approximation of market value. The State of Maine requires that all towns complete a statistical revaluation every three years with a full inspection in the ninth year. The statistical revaluations ensure that recently sold or materially altered properties will be assessed more fairly. In a full inspection, every property is visited and evaluated. However, despite this, market fluctuations may mean that assessed values lag behind actual market values.
