Macwahoc Plantation's rate, ratio and tax base
Maine Revenue Services certified Macwahoc Plantation's 2024 ratio at 95%: its assessments average 95% of market value, below market, so the $7.00 rate overstates the tax on a dollar of market value. Multiplying the rate by the ratio gives $6.65 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: Macwahoc Plantation committed $104,727 of property tax on $14,960,974 of taxable valuation, and $7.00 per $1,000 on that valuation raises $104,727. That commitment ranks 479th of 482 in Maine and is 0.1% of all the property tax committed in Aroostook County's 64 municipalities; the valuation ranks 465th. Macwahoc Plantation is a plantation, a form of local government with fewer powers than a town, but it assesses and commits its own tax.
