Maine Homestead Exemption Program

If you are a Maine homeowner and have resided at the property for at least 12 months prior to April 1, you may be eligible for this state property tax relief program. Forms are being mailed to all new homeowners. If you have questions or have not yet received a form, please call 892-1903. Applications must be filed with the assessor’s office by April 1 to qualify for the 2009-10 tax year. If you received the exemption for the 2008 tax year in Windham, you need not file again, unless you have changed properties.
