How This Calculator Works
Maine's average effective property tax rate is 1.10% of a home's value each year, the 6th highest of 51 (50 states and D.C.). On the state's typical home, worth about $390,000, that comes to roughly $4,290 a year, or $358 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Maine's bill on a typical home is the 14th largest of 51, in the top third. On a $350,000 home it would be about $3,850.
None of Maine's neighbors has a lower average rate; the table below compares them.
These are Maine averages; your county, city and school district set the actual bill.
