Maine CAM Context
Maine has relatively high property tax rates compared to the national average. Portland is the primary commercial market. Property is assessed at 100% of market value with local assessors conducting valuations. Maine has TIF (Tax Increment Financing) districts that can affect how property tax is calculated for CAM purposes.
