Tax Collector

On this page we are providing tax collector information that we feel will help you gain an understanding of the tax collections process and how it impacts our cash flow and thus our ability to meet the Town's financial obligations. (Note: If you want Tax Committment Info or Tax Maps please go to "Most Requested Services" section.)

The focal point of Tax Collection is the Tax Commitment Book - a list of all of Palermo's tax payers and the assessed value of each specific parcel of property in town. In addition, the Tax Commitment Book identifies the tax "Map & Lot" number for each piece of property as well as the "Book & Page" number of the deed at the Waldo County Registry of Deeds in Belfast.

The PDF file below contains the complete 2004 Tax Commitment Book. It is important to note that this copy of the Commitment Book is the Original Copy that may have been modified slightly since it was issued. In most cases the Map & Lot as well as the Book & Page are accurate with the most likely change being in the assessed value due to an abatement or some other adjustment to the property assessment.

NOTE: If you need a copy of Acrobat Reader it can easily be downloaded at this Web Site - it is free - www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html The Acrobat Reader has a search function (click on the small Binocular Icon at the top right of the menus. You can also page through the list by using the arrows at the bottom of the Arcobat Window.

NOTE: The 2005 Taxes have not been committed (turned over) to the Tax Collector yet.  The Assessors are working hard to finish their work by late this month (May) so the Tax Bills can be mailed by Mid-June. 

Taxes become due upon receipt.  You will receive a 2% discount if you pay within 30 days of the mailing date.  After 60 days of the mailing date you will be charged interest at a 7.5 % rate.
