The 1.15% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Portland 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 Portland buyers. Many Portland properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $250/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
