WINDHAM TAX ASSESSOR'S OFFICE

Personal Property Taxation
       The Assessor's Office is responsible for the valuation of all business equipment. This type of property is generally taxed where it is located. Included in this group would be store fixtures, manufacturing equipment and office furniture including computers. There are some exceptions that are taxed where the owner resides irrespective of the properties location. An example would be lobster traps.
 
     Owners of personal property will annually receive a declaration form that shall be used to update the Assessor's Office of the status of the personal property. Personal property is taxed at the same rate as real estate.

   The taxation of personal property is somewhat complicated with the issues of taxable situs and exemptions. If you have any questions please call the Assessor's Office at 207-892-1903.
