An Act to Remove Certain Wharves and Piers from the Laws Governing the Current Use Valuation of Working Waterfront Land

Complete·6/17/25

Removes certain wharves and piers from the laws governing the current use valuation of working waterfront land.

This bill amends the definition of "working waterfront land" in Maine's current use valuation laws. It excludes wharves and piers used primarily or predominantly by persons engaged in commercial fishing activities, including those used for berthing and storage of boats and small fishing houses for gear maintenance and storage. The change applies to parcels of land that abut water to the head of tide or are in the intertidal zone.
