2027 Tax bills have been mailed. All real estate property assessments have been adjusted to reflect 100% State evaluations to take advantage of the full Homestead Exemption allowing for a decrease in the mil rate from 14% to 10.5%.

Through the diligent work of the Budget Committee and Select Board Benton's 2027 municipal budget was slightly lower than last year's budget. BUT significant increases in the County and MSAD#49 school budgets are responsible for an increase in Benton's current total budget obligations .    If you have questions regarding your tax bill or assessed property value, please leave a message for the town assessor at 207-453-7191, ext 2 and Josh will return your call during his office time.  The assessor is in the Benton town office the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of each month.
