| This resolution proposes to amend the Constitution of Maine to |
require the Legislature to require municipalities to fix the |
value of property owned by permanent residents of Maine; once the |
value is fixed, it does not increase until the property is |
transferred through sale or other means to a non-Maine resident |
or the owner is no longer considered a permanent Maine resident. |
At the time of transfer to a non-Maine resident, the valuation of |
the property increases to the amount of the true or just |
valuation. A Maine resident who purchased the property assumes |
the valuation in place on the date of the transfer. |
