An Act To Establish Municipal Cost Components For Unorganized Territory Services To Be Rendered In Fiscal Year 2025-26

This bill establishes the specific costs for state and county services provided to unorganized territory areas (regions without incorporated towns) in Maine for fiscal year 2025-26. It details $18.9 million for state agency services (including $16.3 million for education) and $16.7 million for county services (like Aroostook County's $2.5 million), totaling $38.8 million before revenue deductions. These costs form the basis for the property tax assessment that unorganized territory residents will pay to fund essential services. The bill ensures timely funding for education, fire protection, and other services without requiring new legislation.
