Business Personal Property

The Town of Harpswell has hired KRT Appraisal to conduct a Personal Property Revaluation for all businesses for the 2026 tax year. This revaluation is expected to involve an interior inspection of each business to identify all taxable items, including signage, furniture, computers, machinery, supplies and equipment used in your operations. KRT data collectors will be reviewing your 2026 Business Personal Property Declaration forms and BETE forms. All business personal property is listed and assessed in accordance with Title 36 M.R.S.A. § 601, 706-A, and 841.

Field work for Harpswell's Business Personal Property Revaluation begins in November 2025 and ends on July 15, 2026.

*PLEASE NOTE: Some properties may be visited TWICE during our revaluation. Vision Government Solutions is reviewing real estate, and KRT is reviewing business personal property. For more info about the real estate revaluation, click here.*
