Assessed Value
Assessed values in York 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.
