2026 Real Estate Revaluation
August 20, 2026 - Vision Governmental Solutions mailed letters to the taxpayers that had appointments with Vision Representatives regarding the outcome of the meetings.
Taxpayers have the right to appeal their tax assessment, no later than February 15, 2027. Please contact the Assessing Office for more information.
August 12, 2026 - the Select Board set the mil rate at $4.84 per $1,000 of value to cover obligations including municipal, school and County budgets.
7/15/2026: Letters were mailed out on July 15 with your updated valuation for 2026. These letters will not include your taxes for this year, as the mil rate cannot be calculated until the revaluation and hearings are complete. See below or click here for a sample letter.
Vision Government Solutions representatives held telephone and in-person hearings in July.
*Please Note*: If you purchased your property after April 1, 2026, you will not yet see your name listed as the owner. You are welcome to reach out to the Assessing Office to confirm that we received your deed, and we will add your name and mailing address as "care of" on the tax bill in August. Please call us at 207-833-5771.

The Town of Harpswell has hired the appraisal firm Vision Government Solutions, Inc. (VGSI) to perform a town-wide Revaluation Project. VSGI will work with the Harpswell Assessing Department to make the 18-month process successful. The Board of Selectmen is asking for your participation so that the data collected is as accurate as possible. A municipal revaluation has five major phases: Data Collection, Market Analysis, Valuation, Field Review, and Informal Hearings. Many tasks will be implemented during these phases to complete the revaluation. Both the Town of Harpswell and VGSI appreciate the cooperation of the Harpswell taxpayers.
A revaluation will determine the fair market value of every property in Town and equalize the values of all properties for a fair distribution of the tax burden.
