Overview of Maine Tree Growth Tax Law to be held in Rockport

ROCKPORT — An overview on the Tree Growth Tax Law will be held from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb 20 at the Rockport Town Office.
District Forester Morten Moesswilde will provide an overview of the law, its basic requirements and provisions.

Tree Growth is a “current use” property tax program that can save woodland owners on their property taxes, but has some significant requirements including long-term management for commercial forest products. The presentation is geared toward landowners, foresters, municipal officials and others.
With an April 1 deadline looming for some currently enrolled landowners, as well as for new applicants for the 2018 tax year, the presentation will outline the essential components of Tree Growth, and provide an opportunity for questions and discussion.
Registration is not required. For more information, contact Morten Moesswilde, Maine Forest Service, at 207-441-2895, or via email at morten.moesswilde@maine.gov.
