November 11 Closures

The Town Office and Transfer Station will be closed for Veterans Day on Tuesday, November 11.

Waldo County Bounty and Northport Food Pantry

Because of the uncertainty surrounding SNAP benefits, Waldo County Bounty is leaving its Give & Take stand at the Town Office through November. During November, people may drop off non-perishable food items at the stand. WCB also has a list of all the local food pantries and soup kitchens on its website.

The Northport Food Pantry is also seeking help to keep its shelves stocked during the winter months. Please contact Patti Wright at northportfpantry@gmail.com
for more information or to help.

Property Revaluation

The Town will be conducting a Town-wide property revaluation this winter. The last revaluation was in 2004, and the state recommends doing one every 10 years. The revaluation will help bring all the assessed property values up to date based on their current value. Maine Revenue Services publishes a brochure that explains some of the basics.

The owner of the company performing the revaluation will be attending the Select Board meeting on November 10 at 6:15pm to answer the Board's questions about the process. The public is invited to attend to learn more.

A representative from Maine Revenue Services will attend a public Q&A session in January. More information to follow next month.

Please contact James Kossuth at administrator@northportmaine.org or 338-3819x6 with any questions.
