Budget Information

The public is welcome and encouraged to participate in the municipal budget development process.  The municipal budget accounts for about 20% of local taxes.  The County budget accounts for about 5% of local taxes.  The RSU (School) budget accounts for about 75% of taxes.  For information on the RSU 38 budget visit the school website.

The menu on the left side of this page links to municipal budget details and resources by year.  The budget years indicated reference the budget being developed for the financial period from July 1 to June 30, for example "18-19 Budget Information" refers to the budget development process for the financial period from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019.  The budget development process typically takes place between December and May, and for the example above would take place between December of 2017 and May of 2018, with a Town Meeting vote in June of 2018.  The budget would then be effective for the 18-19 fiscal year.  On the menu at left, the most current budget development process is listed first.
