Seboeis Plantation's rate, ratio and tax base
Maine Revenue Services certified Seboeis Plantation's 2024 ratio at 83%: its assessments average 83% of market value, below market, so the $11.60 rate overstates the tax on a dollar of market value. Multiplying the rate by the ratio gives $9.63 per $1,000 of market value at that average level. The state median ratio is 100%, and 234 municipalities are certified at 100%.
The rate comes from the town's own numbers: Seboeis Plantation committed $152,992 of property tax on $13,189,003 of taxable valuation, and $11.60 per $1,000 on that valuation raises $152,992. That commitment ranks 473rd of 482 in Maine and is 0.06% of all the property tax committed in Penobscot County's 58 municipalities; the valuation ranks 467th. Seboeis Plantation is a plantation, a form of local government with fewer powers than a town, but it assesses and commits its own tax.
