Business Personal Property
All Businesses must submit a
complete listing of their machinery or equipment owned, leased, or rented for
which they are liable for taxes in the City of Lewiston (if not liable for taxes
please state who is liable).
This request is made in accordance with
M.R.S.A. Title 36, Section 706. WARNING:
Failure to file, bars a taxpayer’s right to appeal his or
her valuation. If you are not in business as of 4/1/08, failure to notify the
Assessing Department by 5/15/08 will result in the issuance of a tax bill.
Please note that the Maine Legislature has authorized a Business Equipment Tax
Reimbursement (BETR) program, for new and used equipment placed in service for
the first time in Maine after April 1, 1995. For information on the BETR
program, you can contact the State of Maine on the web at:
