Property Tax Bills Across Androscoggin County, Maine
Property tax bills in Androscoggin are based on the assessed value of a home and the local tax rate set by the taxing authorities. When a property’s market value rises, the assessed value can rise as well, which may increase the bill. Local budgets for schools, roads, public safety, and other services also influence how much homeowners owe.
With a median home price of $151,250, property taxes can still vary widely across the county. The 25th percentile tax bill is $2,545, while the 75th percentile is $4,488 and the 90th percentile reaches $5,951. That means many homeowners pay more than the national median property tax bill of $2,400, even though home values are relatively modest.
The impact on homeowners depends on both the home’s assessed value and the local rate. A higher assessment can push annual costs up, while a lower assessment can keep the bill more manageable. In Androscoggin, that difference can be significant from one city to another, with median tax bills ranging from $1,143 in Turner to $4,293 in Durham.
