Personal Property

Overview of Personal Property Taxation (2024/2025)

Personal Property Taxes are levied against all furniture, fixtures, computers, software, machinery and equipment of business assets. The tax rate is the same rate as applied to taxable real estate. Assets located in Paris on April 1 are taxed in Paris and are required to be reported to Paris. The Assessor’s Office mails a request for a true and perfect list of all business assets in February and the deadline for filing is May 1st. A 30-day extension can be requested by emailing your request to assessor@parismaine.org

Note: Failure to file a true and perfect list of assets bars a taxpayer’s right to appeal his or her valuation for that year, per 36 M.R.S.§ 706-A. If a business does not exist as of April 1, the taxpayer’s failure to notify the Assessor’s Office by May 1st will result in an issuance of a tax bill.
