With the Town Assessor, Clinton Swett, recently announcing Cape Elizabeth's Tax Commitment, residents 65 years or older should review tax relief programs available to qualifying seniors. This includes both state and local programs.

On September 9, 2024, the Cape Elizabeth Town Council will consider a recommendation from the Ordinance Committee to expand funding and increase reimbursements for Cape Elizabeth's Senior Tax Relief Program based on the household income level.  If approved by the council, residents wishing to participate in the program must complete and return the application to the Assessor's office no later than Monday, November 18, 2024.

Residents who have applied to this program in the past will receive a letter from the Town Assessor with a copy of the 2025 Senior Tax Assistance Program Application.  If you have not received a letter and application or have questions about the application process, please contact Clinton Swett at clinton.swett@capeelizabeth.org or 207-799-1619.
