Welcome to Camden Reval, a website exclusively devoted to keeping Camden residents and property owners informed about the 2024 revaluation project.

If there’s something you want to know that we haven’t covered on this website, please use the contact links at the bottom of the page and let us know. We’ll answer all your questions in person and on the website. We want the revaluation process to be transparent.

First, what is the point of revaluation?

Revaluations lead to fair property taxes.

All Maine towns rely on property taxes to fund schools and government services. The revaluation’s goal is to assess the market value of every property in Camden. When properties are accurately assessed, taxes are fair for everyone in town.

In 2024, all Camden home values were revalued and adjusted. Here’s why:

Background

Maine’s Constitution (Article 9, Section 7) requires that every ten years we perform a “general valuation” in order to bring property values in line with the current real estate market. Camden last did a revaluation in 2004. So actually, we’re a bit late! The revaluation process begins with in-person home inspections to verify and improve our database of properties.

Goal

The goal of a revaluation is to assess the market value of everyone’s property as accurately as possible so that taxes are fairly and equitably distributed.

Result

While it is true that for some people taxes will go up, it is also true that for others taxes will go down. The result will be a better Camden for all of us.
