Proposing a constitutional amendment to allow Maine municipalities to set property taxes based on property classification.

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Maine Constitution to enable municipalities to set real and personal property taxes based on property classification. The amendment would allow municipalities to apportion taxes according to the process enacted by the Legislature in statute. The proposal requires a vote by legal voters in each city, town, and plantation, with the ballots counted in open meetings. If a majority votes in favor, the Governor will proclaim the amendment's adoption, making it part of the Constitution as of April 1, 2027.
