Bangor housing market
The 1.35% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Bangor and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Maine average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Bangor buyers. Many Bangor properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $50/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
