Failed·6/2/25
Tpdf Text

Maine LD115 would impose an impact fee on megayachts secured to slips in municipalities that collect slip fees.

Maine LD115 would require municipalities to charge an impact fee of $10 per foot of length over 150 feet for each day up to 365 days that a megayacht is secured to a slip. Municipalities can retain 10% of the fees collected, with the remainder transferred to the Megayacht Fund. The bill defines a megayacht as a privately owned pleasure vessel at least 150 feet in length, excluding certain commercial and non-commercial vessels.
