2. 2026 Metro Assessment and Council Options
On October 31, 2025 Metro submitted their 2026 budget to the City. The budget includes an
assessment increase for Portland of 20% or approximately $600k. Should the Council choose
to reject the budget, such rejection must occur within 30 days. Acceptance of the budget and
local assessment can occur by taking no action (simply a City Council Communication on a
November agenda) or by a formal vote of acceptance. Due to the significance of the FY27
1
increase the budget will be initially discussed at tonight’s Finance Committee meeting to
ensure Council support. City and METRO staff will be in attendance to discuss the increase
for FY27, the service level enhancements, outlook for FY28, and why the budget is being
recommended for acceptance. This is a discussion item only, no action is scheduled at the
current meeting.
3. 2026 Capital Improvement Plan Process and Capital Project Selection Criteria
In 2025, City staff made several key changes to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
process. Most notably, staff better aligned project selection with established City priorities,
added additional evaluation of project submissions based on clear criteria weighted to reflect
City priorities, added emphasis on equity and sustainability, and established a Capital
Projects Advisory Committee (CPAC) to assist in the CIP project assessment process. At the
current meeting, staff will review the CIP timeline, investment priorities and capital project
selection criteria for 2026. This is a discussion item only, no action is scheduled at the current
meeting.
4. Review of Portland Draft Payment-in-Lieu-of-Taxes Policy (PILOT)
The City’s Finance Committee (and other Council Committees) have explored a
PILOT policy for Portland at several points in time over the last several years. At the
current meeting, staff will review the latest draft of the PILOT policy, review
calculations of voluntary PILOT payment amounts which would be due by entity after
factoring in the $10M exemption, and discuss the proposed service fee
ordinance. This is a discussion item only, no action is scheduled at the current
meeting.

Re: Greater Portland Transit District: Preliminary 2026 Budget and Municipal Assessment
Dear Ms. West:
In accordance with MRS Title 30-A, Chapter 163 (Transportation), the Greater Portland
Transit District (“Metro”) is submitting its fiscal year 2026 operating
budget and municipal assessment. Metro’s 2026 fiscal year operates from January 1,
2026 - December 31, 2026. The assessment amount for the City of Portland for fiscal year
2026 is $3,598,380.
On October 23, 2025, Metro’s Board of Directors unanimously approved
the fiscal year 2026 preliminary budget and municipal assessments. The total
operating budget for fiscal year 2026 is $20,155,505 and represents a 4.7% increase
compared to FY 2025.
The municipal assessments associated with Metro’s FY 2026 are drawn from the municipalities’
forthcoming fiscal year 2026-27. In accordance with MRS Title 30-A, §3516, the
“municipal officers” (i.e., the city/town councils) of your communities are required to notify
Metro of a rejection of the local assessment within thirty (30) calendar days of this
submission. Acceptance of the local assessment may be achieved either
by affirmative action by city/town councils or by no formal action within the 30-day timeframe.

Page 3
30-A-MRS §3516 requires Metro to adopt and implement its annual budget according to the
following timeline:
Table 1: Metro’s Budget Adoption Calendar
Milestone Action
October 31 Date by which a preliminary operating budget must be approved along with the formula by
which local contributions are determined and the local contribution amounts.
November 1 Date by which Metro is required to submit the preliminary budget, local contribution formula,
and local contribution amounts to the “municipal officers” (i.e., the city/town councils) of
member municipalities.
November 30 Date by which city/town councils are required to notify Metro of a rejection of the formula
by which local assessments are determined. A rejection would trigger a mediation process
through the Public Utilities Commission.
February 29 Date by which Metro must approve a final budget.
April 1 Date by which Metro transmits “warrants for taxes” to the member municipalities.
July-August Local contributions due to Metro within 30 days after the date that taxes are due within each
member municipality.
The budget is organized into three major operational sections:
• Base Bus Service – $18.95 million budget represents a 4.5% increase compared to 2025.
The increase is primarily being driven by approved cost of living wage increases in Metro’s
Collective Bargaining Agreement and Non-Union Salary Plan, as well as inflationary cost
increases of goods and services.
Metro plans to operate 137,503 hours of transit service across fourteen fixed routes and
one microtransit zone in 2026. Ridership in 2025 is projected to reach 1,860,000, a 2.5%
increase from Metro’s 2024 ridership. It should be noted that Metro’s 2024 ridership did
not include South Portland routes. Metro is budgeting for ridership to be at similar levels
in 2026. Growth will be pursued through a redoubling of marketing efforts including
promotion of unlimited use pass programs and improvements to route efficiency and on-
time performance.
• ADA Paratransit – $698k budget represents a 13.6% increase compared to 2025.
Increases in ADA paratransit ridership coupled with an increase in Metro’s contract rate
with its paratransit provider the Regional Transportation Program are driving this
increase.

Phone: 207-774-0351 Fax: 207-774-6241

ADA paratransit service is demand response service for individuals who cannot use bus
service. Passengers may be certified as ADA eligible if a functional assessment determines
they are unable to use the fixed route bus system for all travel or certain trip types. ADA
paratransit is a federal requirement and must be offered within ¾ mile radius around
Metro’s local bus routes (not including Breez express service). Metro member
communities are billed separately from the annual assessment for the local match portion
of the per trip cost for trips originating in their community.
• Property Lease Arrangement – $499k budget remains flat compared to 2025. Metro
currently leases an adjacent property with a combination of state and local funding as
well as revenue from a sub-lease agreement. The purpose of this arrangement is to
support future acquisition of the property in conjunction with construction of an
expanded operations-maintenance facility.
The total overall local funding required from member municipalities for FY 2025 is programmed
to increase by 12.4% from $5,410,089 in FY 2025 to $6,082,220 in FY 2026.
• Metro is experiencing reductions in revenue on three fronts; lower than expected fare
revenue, reduced projections for advertising revenue and most impactfully the phasing
out of ARPA funding. These factors combined has caused overall municipal contributions
to the budget to increase. The impact of this increase has the most significant impact on
the communities with ARPA funded service improvements. These ARPA funded service
improvements for each community include:
o Falmouth – Increased frequency on the Route 7 and the introduction of
microtransit service to most of Falmouth.
o Portland – Extension of the Route 7 to the Jetport and frequency improvements
on this route, increased frequency on the Routes 9A and 9B, extension of the
Husky Line to the Eastern Waterfront and frequency improvements midday on the
Breez service.
o Brunswick, Freeport, Yarmouth – Improved frequency midday on the Breez, which
serves all three communities.
• Metro was awarded $4.4 million in ARPA funding in 2022 that was used for targeted
efforts to recover transit ridership post-pandemic. These targeted programs included; a
regional half fare promotion, bus stop improvements and the introduction of transit signal
priority to improve route speed. In addition to these one-time expenses, Metro received
$2.8 million to fund comprehensive service improvements that were introduced
incrementally in 2023 and 2024.

• In 2025, approximately $1.5 million in service improvements were 100% ARPA funded.
Metro forecasts a little less than $500k in ARPA funding will be remaining to fund these
services in 2026. This creates a $1 million funding reduction in revenue in Metro’s 2026
budget. In order to fill this funding gap and ease the transition as municipalities begin to
pick up the difference, Metro’s 2026 budget includes $325k in federal carry-forward
funding that is being directly applied to ARPA funded service improvements.
The table below outlines the changes in Metro’s base budget revenues as compared to FY 2025
budget.

Total Base Bus Budget 18,041,747 18,894,450 852,703 4.7%
The table below outlines the local assessment for each Metro community including the change
amount and change percentage. Changes in municipal assessments vary by community based on
the amount of ARPA service operated within each community. Communities that saw a reduction
in their assessment had reductions in service levels.

Metro’s Board of Directors has identified increasing non-municipal funding as a high priority for
Metro in 2026. Planned efforts to this end include:
• Advocate strongly at the State level for more State operating assistance. MaineDOT’s
portion of Metro’s budget continues to shrink as a proportion of Metro’s overall budget.
Metro plans to work with State congressional leaders throughout its service area to
identify ways that the State can provide more funding support to Metro.
• Complete a fare policy analysis with a goal of increasing fare revenue through changes in
Metro’s fare policy.
• Increase ridership through increased community outreach, new and updated advertising
campaigns and direct partnerships with businesses and institutions that will generate
direct operating support and unlimited ride bus pass programs.
On behalf of the Metro Board of Directors, please accept our thanks for supporting public
transportation. We look forward to continuing our efforts and record of results in advancing
transit in the region. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully,
Glenn Fenton

Note # Line Item Explanation
1 Wages Increase in regular wages is driven mainly by the COLA increase (3% Jan 1, 2% July 1) in
base wages and step increases as required by the Collective Bargaining Agreement with
ATU and the Non-Union Salary Plan approved by the Board of Directors in 2022. Wages
related to service improvement are included in this line as well. Staff are estimating the
same COLA for non-union staff.
After evaluation of revenue hours and staffing requirements, staff determined the Bus
Operator position count could be reduced by 3. This results in significant savings in
wages and benefits from the 1st draft budget presented.
2 New Positions- Wages This amount reflects the request for two new positions. One, full year, Training
Supervisor, and one, ½ year Scheduler/Data Analyst.
3 Overtime Overtime increase is related to the 3% COLA as required by the CBA. Additionally, this
includes an addition of Overtime expected for Micro Transit drivers.
4 Holiday Pay Increase is related to COLA as required by the CBA. Additionally, 2025 projection
estimates to be slightly over budget on this line, so increase is based on 2025 projection
and not 2025 budget.
5 Health Insurance Health Insurance is estimated at an increase of 10% over 2025 budgeted amount.
Reviewing current invoicing for Health Insurance, staff has increased the requested
amount for 2025, and estimate a yearly premium increase of 10%.
6 HRA Payments Historically, HRA payments were budgeted fully in Operations, as this department
carried the majority of the expenses, and allocated to the departments based on actual
expenditures. For 2026, we are budgeting an amount for each department. For 2026,
Operations is showing a slight decrease, but this is based on the allocation to other
departments. Overall, HRA Payments requested increase is about 20%, which is based
on historical usage and added staff.
7 Disability Insurance Metro’s broker for Disability Insurance was able to negotiate a rate reduction on STD
benefits only, which is contributed to the addition of MEPFML benefits, starting in
2026. The Oct 2025 renewal includes a decrease in the STD rate, and no change in the
rate for LTD benefits.
Reviewing the renewal for Disability Insurance, staff were able to estimate additional
savings related to the rate decrease contributed to MEPFML beginning in 2026.
8 Workers Compensation Workers Compensation expenditures have historically averaged around 2.75% of
wages. Staff are using this as an estimate, and will update once initial discussions for
2026 policy renewals begin.
Staff have lowered the estimated expense related to Workers Compensation using
2025 as a benchmark and a favorable claims experience rating for 2025.
9 Unemployment Metro is self-insured for unemployment benefits, therefore, only has expenditures
when claims are filed. So far, 2025 has been minimal. Staff have adjusted the budget
request downward based on 2025 actuals.
10 New Positions- Benefits This amount reflects an estimate of benefit expenditures for new positions. Staff are
using 45% of wages as an estimate, which is in line with actual overall benefit costs
related to wages.
11 Minor Equipment Staff have adjusted this request downward, based on historical usage.
12 Conference and Travel Increased based on need for additional training for Operations staff and managers

MUNICIPAL ASSESSMENTS
The table below lists local funding needed per municipality and adds in the local funding associated with
the agency’s property lease. Both of these cost elements impact local assessments. ADA paratransit costs
do not impact the local assessment. These costs are ridership driven, so municipalities are billed monthly
for 20% of the cost of these trips.
Table 20: 2026 Municipal Assessments- Cost Allocation
Metro’s revised cost and revenue allocation method, approved for the 2024 budget, resulted in increased
local funding requirements for Brunswick, Freeport, Westbrook, and Yarmouth. Portland was similarly
affected, though impacts were offset by other funding adjustments.
These increases stem from several factors, including the drawdown of “pilot” funds, reduced fare revenue
due to the pandemic, rising operating costs, changes in service levels, and the transition to larger buses on
the Breez Line.
To ease these impacts, the Board approved one-time bridge funding in 2024 using surplus FY 2023 federal
funds—$37,000 for each Breez municipality ($148,000 total) and $168,000 for Westbrook. The 2025
assessments do not include bridge funding, resulting in higher increases.
Metro’s member communities are facing a similar challenge as the ARPA funds are now fully expended and
staff are proposing comparable bridge funding measures to ease the burden of stepping into larger local
contributions.

City of Portland
Payment in Lieu of Taxes Policy (PILOT)
1. PURPOSE
In order to maintain the high standard of municipal services that Portland has historically
provided, the City Council has established a policy for PILOT (Payment-In-Lieu-of-Tax)
contributions from tax-exempt property owners (referred to hereafter as “exempt property”
owners). The purpose of this PILOT policy document is to summarize the uniform policy to be
applied to the exempt properties within the City. The policy is intended to provide clarity to
exempt organizations who wish to locate in Portland. The policy includes monetary payments
and consideration of other services provided by exempt organizations. The policy also provides
guidance for City staff when approached with questions about PILOT policy requirements.
2. THE NEED FOR A FORMAL PILOT POLICY
DR
According to the City Tax Assessor, the amount of tax-exempt real estate within the City of
Portland has risen to approximately $3.93 billion dollars as of June 30, 2025. Tax-exempt
property values are often understanded due to the lack of focus on exempt property during
annual assessments. If the nearly $4B of parcels were taxable, they would represent at least a
AF
20% increase to our taxable net valuation. The rise in exempt valuation has put increasing
pressure on the remaining property owners in Portland (referred to hereafter as “non-exempt
property” owners) to fully fund the broad spectrum of services offered to all residents and
T
visitors to Portland.
The City recognizes that non-profit organizations contribute directly to the quality of life within
the community and welcomes these organizations. Portland has historically been recognized as
a leader in Maine in the area of higher education, arts and culture, social services, public health,
equity and religious freedom. The City’s location, status as the economic engine of Northern
New England, located just under 2 hours north of Boston, with easy access via major highway,
bus, rail, and jetport, makes it attractive for non-profit institutions. This demand for land and
buildings to operate non-profit organizations has absorbed significant amounts of taxable
property within the City in recent years. A continuing shift in tax burden to a diminishing tax
Revised: September 1, 2025 Page 1

City of Portland
Payment in Lieu of Taxes Policy (PILOT)
base will have a negative impact on residents, local businesses and the overall Greater Portland
community. In order to maintain the financial health of the community as a whole and to
continue to provide a range of quality services, the City must set an objective to maintain its
existing tax base and expand it where reasonably possible. Strong PILOT policies have been
used in municipalities nationwide to achieve this objective. Several key reasons noted for
adoption of strong PILOT policies are listed below.
● With an increasing amount of exempt property within a City, nonprofits should share in
the cost of basic services which benefit them. Police, fire protection, and road
maintenance are the costs most frequently allocated to exempt property owners in
other municipalities.
DRAF
● A strong PILOT policy has the potential to help ease the tax burden on non-exempt
property owners, and create a more equitable distribution of the tax levy across those
who consume core City services.
● PILOT policies can help address inequities created by tax exemptions (i.e., the greatest
tax savings goes to organizations who have the most valuable property holdings).
T
● PILOT policies can reduce inefficient location decisions made by nonprofits (i.e., exempt
status creates an incentive for nonprofits to locate in cities where the tax savings are
highest and the public services provided by the jurisdiction are broadest).

3. FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PILOT POLICY
I. Participation in the PILOT Program is voluntary
Consideration was given to seeking an ordinance change to require PILOT payments and
ensure more uniform participation. However, any attempt to impose a legal or statutory
requirement would face significant opposition and runs counter to the spirit of
partnership between the City and its local institutions that a successful PILOT program
would provide.
II. PILOT should be applied equally to all current and future non-profit groups in Portland
DRAF
All non-profit institutions should participate in the PILOT program. While significant
focus has been placed on the City’s medical and educational institutions, the City’s
museums, cultural facilities, and other significant non-profits share a similar interest in
the City.
While broad participation is essential to the program’s success, the City has determined
T
III.
that an exception should be made for smaller nonprofits which may lack the resources
to fully engage in the PILOT process. In response to significant feedback from the
community regarding impact of a program on small non-profits, an exemption of $10
million in assessed property value has been added into the PILOT policy. An exemption
of this amount will be applied to all organizations under this policy, eliminating the PILOT
completely for the smaller institutions, while mitigating the financial impact of PILOT
payments on institutions just beyond this threshold.
PILOT contributions should offset cost of basic City services:
Revised: September 1, 2025 Page 3
Page 63
City of Portland
Payment in Lieu of Taxes Policy (PILOT)
PILOT contributions should be based on the value of real estate owned by an institution.
This approach both reflects the size and quality of the institution’s real estate holdings
and is consistent with the approach taken for taxable properties.
PILOT policies nationwide set contribution levels at an amount designed to cover the
portion of the tax levy related to basic and core City services. For purposes of this
PILOT, those services have been designated as public safety services (police and fire) and
basic infrastructure services including public spaces maintenance and snow removal. To
enhance predictability for organizations impacted by the policy, and to prevent
significant year over year fluctuations in base amount, the PILOT contribution level has
been set at 40% of the regular property taxes due. However, there are additional
DR
IV.
AF
potential PILOT credits and a phase-in period as outlined in IV and V below.
PILOT policy includes a SILOT (Services In Lieu of Taxes) deduction up to 50%
Community benefits are an important aspect of an institution’s contribution to the City.
Institutions may receive up to a 50% PILOT deduction for qualifying community
programs and services that uniquely benefit Portland residents. In the case of
T
V.
exceptional opportunities for partnership, the 50% cap may be exceeded. Institutions
may also receive a credit on their PILOT in the amount of real estate taxes paid on
properties that would ordinarily qualify for a tax exemption based on use, as well as a
credit for costs paid which would otherwise be paid. Section 6 of this document
contains more detail on criteria for the SILOT deduction.
The new PILOT formula should be phased in over a 5-year period starting in FY 2027
While the payments currently made by some institutions approach the levels indicated
by the program levels recommended above, most institutions fall below the
Revised: September 1, 2025 Page 4
Page 64
City of Portland
Payment in Lieu of Taxes Policy (PILOT)
recommended amounts. Institutions will require time to make the necessary
adjustments in their budget and financial plans to accommodate increased PILOT
amounts. To ensure a smooth transition, staff recommends that the new formula be
phased in over a time period of not less than 5 years.
VI. The new PILOT formula should factor in other voluntary payments or required service
fee payments to the City
Many nonprofits make fully voluntary, non-required contributions to the City on an
annual or recurring basis. These payments should be deducted from the PILOT amounts
DR that would normally be due. Similarly, any required payments under MRS Title 36 M.R.S.
§ 508 “Service Fees” should also be deducted from the PILOT amounts that would
normally be due.
4. IS THE PILOT POLICY APPLICABLE TO MY ORGANIZATION?
AF
All tax-exempt organizations are encouraged to participate in the PILOT policy. As noted
previously an exemption amount of $10M will be applied to all organizations under this policy,
eliminating the PILOT completely for the smaller institutions, while mitigating the financial
T
impact of PILOT payments on institutions just beyond this threshold. These exempt
organizations will be noted in the PILOT Policy Annual Results published each fiscal year.
5. CALCULATION OF PILOT PAYMENT DUE
PILOT contributions are based on the value of real estate owned by an institution. The
calculation of recommended PILOT payment due can be determined as follows:
Step 1: Begin with total assessed value of exempt property owned by an organization
Step 2: Subtract the $10M of PILOT exemption
Step 3: Divide by $1000 (the mil rate is applied per $1000 of assessed value)
Revised: September 1, 2025 Page 5
Page 65
City of Portland
Payment in Lieu of Taxes Policy (PILOT)
Step 4: Multiply by the current City of Portland fiscal year mil rate
Step 5: Multiply by 40%
Community Benefit Credit: Subtract any agreed upon SILOT credit (see Section 6 for more
details on SILOT) up to a further 50% deduction from amount due.
The calculation begins with 100% of an exempt property owner’s assessed value related to their
exempt property only (i.e., non-exempt property is already included in the regular property tax
billing and should be excluded from the PILOT calculation). The $10M of PILOT exemption
should be subtracted from this total, and the remaining total should be divided by $1000. The
result should be multiplied by 40% to determine the PILOT amount due. The 40% represents
DR
the cost of the City’s “core” services which are public safety (Police, Dispatch and Fire
Departments) and basic public spaces maintenance / winter operations. After any phase in
period, the PILOT payment due could be further reduced by any available SILOT
(Services-in-lieu-of-taxes) credit which has been applied to the exempt organization by the City.
AF
SILOT credits are not guaranteed to every organization and are calculated on a case by case
basis by the City. The SILOT credit may not exceed 50% of the total amount of the PILOT due.
See the SERVICES IN LIEU OF TAXES (SILOT) CREDIT section for complete details on SILOT criteria
T
and calculation.
6. SERVICES IN LIEU OF TAXES (SILOT) CREDIT
In consideration of the community benefits of the exempt organization within the City, the
PILOT policy includes a deduction for services provided. A list of items which could qualify for
SILOT credit are listed below. In general, only activities which are outside an exempt
organization’s core mission would be considered for SILOT credit. However, exceptions will be
considered when a direct benefit to City of Portland residents can be reliably measured. An
exempt entity will have an opportunity on an annual basis to outline their SILOT contributions

● Real Estate Taxes on Property used for Non-institutional Purposes
● Linkage Payments
● Permit Inspection Fees
● Student Spending
● Salaries Paid to Employees
● Construction Costs
● Purchase of Goods, Services
● Grants Received / Outside Money
● Operating Support for Community Health Clinics
● Unreimbursed Medicare or Medicaid
If an exempt property owner is considering a formal PILOT payment to the City and would like
DR
SILOT credit, the Finance Department should be contacted to begin the process.
7. ANNUAL BILLING AND FIVE-YEAR PHASE IN (FY27-FY31)
AF
Annual Billing
The annual billing for the PILOT will be performed by City staff. PILOT bills will be sent on a
semiannual basis on a schedule similar to regular property tax billing – typically PILOT bills will
T
be sent in July of each fiscal year. A SILOT credit application will also be enclosed with the PILOT
bill and each exempt organization will have 30 days to complete and return form. The City will
review the forms and notify each organization of SILOT credits received – including a revised
PILOT bill for the current fiscal year. PILOT payments will be due on the regular property tax
payment dates – typically the second Friday in October and March of each year.
Five Year Phase In – New PILOT Agreements
For any exempt organizations impacted by this policy, who currently exist in the City and are
remaining in their existing locations, a five-year phase in is permitted. The amounts due in the
Revised: September 1, 2025 Page 8
Page 68
City of Portland
Payment in Lieu of Taxes Policy (PILOT)
first five tax years of the new program are listed below and should be calculated based on Step
1 through Step 5 in the Calculation of Amount Due section above. In future fiscal years, the
payment calculation could remain at 50% of the normal PILOT amount due assuming that a full
community benefit credit is received.
FY27 – 10% of the normal PILOT amount
FY28 – 20% of the normal PILOT amount
FY29 – 30% of the normal PILOT amount
FY30 – 40% of the normal PILOT amount
FY31 – 50% of the normal PILOT amount
DR
For any NEW exempt organizations seeking to locate within the City or Portland the full PILOT
amount is due in FY27. For exempt organizations who currently exist within the City and are
seeking to expand their footprint within the City, the full PILOT policy would be due in FY27 on
AF
any new property acquired.
8. GUIDANCE FOR CITY STAFF – ENCOURAGING PARTICIPATION IN THE PILOT PROGRAM AND
ANNUAL REPORTING ON PILOT PAYMENTS

Appendix A - Examples of PILOT Payments Due by Exempt Property Value
As a reminder, the PILOT amount due can be calculated as follows:
1) Begin with the total exempt assessed value of an organization
2) Subtract the amount of PILOT exemption from the assessed value
3) Divide by $1,000 (the mill rate is applied per $1,000 of assessed value)
4) Multiply by the current City of Portland fiscal year mill rate (FY26 is $11.98)
5) Multiply by the amount of the portion of the regular tax rate dedicated to basic services (proposed in 2017 as
25%, will be adjusted in current version of policy for current cost of police, fire, dispatch and public works services)
6) Prorate the amount due based on the proposed phase in - 10% in Year 1, 20% in Year 2, 30% in Year 3, 40% in
Year 4, 50% in Year 5 (and beyond, assuming community benefit criteria is met).

Portland Payment-in-Lieu of Tax (PILOT) Policy
Calculation of PILOT Request Amounts
City of Portland, Maine
Page 103
PILOT Policy - Calculation of Request Amount
Step 1: Begin with total assessed value of
exempt property owned by an organization
EXAMPLE CALC: Let’s assume a tax exempt entity owns 3 different parcels
- Parcel 1 - Value of $5,000,000
- Parcel 2 - Value of $3,000,000
- Parcel 3 - Value of $12,000,000
TOTAL ASSESSED VALUE of $20,000,000
Page 104
PILOT Policy - Calculation of Request Amount
Step 2: Subtract the $10M of PILOT exemption
EXAMPLE CALC: We used an entity with multiple parcels to illustrate that the
exemption is PER ENTITY, not per parcel
- Parcel 1 - Value of $5,000,000
- Parcel 2 - Value of $3,000,000
- Parcel 3 - Value of $12,000,000
TOTAL ASSESSED VALUE of $20,000,000
LESS: $10,000,000 PILOT EXEMPTION
PILOT POLICY BASE VALUE OF $10,000,000
Page 105
PILOT Policy - Calculation of Request Amount
Step 3: Divide by $1000 (the mil rate is applied per $1000
of assessed value)
Step 4: Multiply by the current City of Portland mill rate
Step 5: Multiply by 40% (core services percentage)
FROM STEP 2: PILOT POLICY BASE EXAMPLE VALUE OF $10,000,000
STEP 3: DIVIDE BY $1000 ($10,000,000 / 1000 = $10,000)
STEP 4: CURRENT MILL RATE OF $11.98 * 10,000 = $119,800
STEP 5: MULTIPLY BY 40% ($119,800 * 40%) = $47,920
Page 106
PILOT Policy - Calculation of Request Amount
FURTHER REDUCTIONS: FIVE YEAR PHASE-IN
For any exempt organizations impacted by this policy, who currently exist in the City and
are remaining in their existing locations, a five-year phase in is permitted. The amounts
due in the first five tax years of the new program are listed below and should be
calculated based on Step 1 through Step 5. FY27 - 10% of normal PILOT, FY28 - 20% of
normal PILOT, FY29 - 30% of normal PILOT, FY30 - 40% of normal PILOT, FY31 and
beyond - 50% of normal PILOT (assumes full ongoing community benefit credit of 50%)
- FY27 - $47,920 * 10% or $4,792
- FY28 - $47,920 * 20% or $9.584
- FY29 - $47,920 * 30% or $14,376
- FY30 - $47,920 * 40% or $19,168
- FY31 - $47,920 * 50% or $23,960

FY27 Budget Impact / Capacity Example
Page 109
FY27: Future Potential Property Tax Rate Increases
and Impact / Capacity Examples
The current City mill
rate is $11.98. This
rises by $0.01 for each
$202,970 of increase to
the tax levy.
Changes to the tax levy
result from increased
expenditures, loss of
revenues, or a
combination of both.
Page 110
FY27: Future Potential Property Tax Rate Increases
and Impact / Capacity Examples
Example: City Council provides
guidance to raise property taxes at
just under 2x the rate of inflation
over the last 12 months (estimated
at 5% for purposes of this
example).
A 5% tax levy increase = an overall
tax levy increase of $12.2M.
Example assumes increase is split
among all components of tax rate.
City would have 27 cents of
capacity (or $5.3M of addition to
their portion of the tax levy).
Schools would have 31 cents of
capacity (or $6.4M of addition to
their portion of the tax levy).
County would have 2 cents.

From: Brendan T. O’Connell - Finance Director
To: Members of the Finance Committee
CC: Danielle P. West, City Manager
Date: September 11, 2025 (Updated 11/6/25 with Appendix A)
Re: Finance Committee 2025 Work Plan Item: Exploration of
Expansion of Portland Senior Tax Equity Program
INTRO AND PROGRAM HISTORY
In 2017, in an effort to help ease the burden of rising housing costs for the City's low income
seniors, the City Finance Committee examined and recommended a Portland Senior Tax Equity
Program (“P-STEP”). The program has been codified within Chapter 2 of Portland City Code and
was modeled after similar senior tax relief programs in other local municipalities. The Portland
program is the broadest in the region and includes the lowest age restriction (62) of any
municipality in Maine, no income restrictions beyond qualification for a tax credit under the
Maine Property Tax Fairness Credit program, and has no restrictions based on length of
residency or receipt of the homestead exemption.
In the seven fiscal years since the program has launched, the program has been a success. It has
seen nearly 40% annual growth, with payments rising from $66,567 in the first year to in excess
of $440,000 in the most recently closed fiscal year. The most recent P-STEP budgeted amount
($300,000) was not sufficient to make payments due for FY25. However, the ordinance for the
PSTEP permits staff to make pro-rata PSTEP payments if the amount of PSTEP funding requests
exceeds available funds. The program allows the City’s Finance Director to find alternative
funding sources to keep participant payments whole. Thankfully in FY25 the City had an
operating surplus and we were able to make full payments to all program participants. However,
with the rapid growth of the program and operating surpluses not being guaranteed, we
recommend only expanding the program in the following ways.
1
Page 125
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS - PORTLAND SENIOR TAX EQUITY PROGRAM EXPANSION
1) City staff recommends doubling the PSTEP program funding for the next operating budget
year (FY27) from $300,000 to $600,000. This will ensure, even at the current rate of program
growth of nearly 40% annually, that the City’s low income seniors will receive the full payments
they are entitled to per the program guidelines.
2) Staff recommends continuing to increase available program funds annually by $200,000 in
FY28 and FY29 until the program budget reaches $1,000,000 in funding. The nearly $700,000 in
recommended expanded funding for the program, spread over three fiscal years, will be a
manageable level of expansion for the City’s municipal budget to absorb over the period but will
still increase the mill rate by an estimated 5 cents by FY29. Staff will report annually to the City’s
Finance Committee on payments made under the program and recommend adjustments as
needed to ensure adequate funding for the City’s low income seniors who qualify.
3) Staff recommends continued expansion of staff outreach efforts including liaising with both
internal (Office of Elder Affairs) and external groups who work closely with Portland’s elderly
population. The outreach effort will include several in person presentations on the program at
various City locations, expanded media outreach, and a small allocation of program funds set
aside for an additional mailing included with property tax billing.
It is worth noting that staff is not recommending any changes to program age limits or any
additional income restrictions. Currently the State Property Tax Fairness Credit program benefit
is based on a sliding scale of income and property tax / rent paid - with eligibility phased out at
income for The Portland Senior Tax Equity Program has always been designed to assist low
income senior residents and was intended to be a low barrier program. The City of Portland
program has the lowest age restriction permissible under MRS Title 36 §6231 (see appendix B for
list of local programs and age/residency restrictions). Additionally, the program has no additional
income restrictions above and beyond those in the State PFTC program, no term of residency
restrictions, and no requirement to have a “homestead exemption” in the City. Finally, no
removal of the age limit is being recommended as it would have a significant impact on property
tax rates. Based on information from Maine Revenue Services, expansion or removal of program
age limitations would expose the City to a potential tax levy increase which could exceed
$6,000,000 by the 2026 tax year. This would represent a 5.6% increase in the municipal portion
of the tax rate even before any other needs of the City are considered as part of annual budgeting.

APPENDIX A - RESPONSES TO SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER Q&A FROM COUNCIL
Q1) Councilor Grant: How does the City establish that our program “benefits persons with
homesteads in the municipality”?
A1) The Maine statute which permits a municipality to enact this program (36 MRS §6232.
Municipal authority) references inclusion of both owners and renters of homesteads within the
program. Furthermore, the definition of homestead in MRS §6201. Definitions includes the
dwellings of both owners and renters.
The City’s PSTEP program requires that applicants qualify for the State of Maine Property Tax
Fairness Credit Program, which requires that an applicant complete form 1040ME and Form PFTC
. Form PFTC requires claimants to maintain a homestead in the state and requires disclosure of
“Physical location of property where you lived” during the tax year. Before awarding a benefit
under the City’s PSTEP, City staff confirm that the applicant qualified for the PFTC Program and
that their homestead is within our municipality.
Q2) Councilor Sykes: Could you provide more data from the program including average age and
a breakdown of owners vs renters?
A2) Disclosure of age is required on our application. In a sample of 200 applications, the average
age was 77 and the average benefit paid was $880. Approximately 25% of our PSTEP applications
indicated they held a mortgage. The remaining 75% noted no mortgage or explicitly included
materials substantiating their rent payment amounts.
Q3) Councilor Grant: Is there an “income cliff” in the program (i.e. at a certain income level,
does a person no longer qualify for any benefit)?
A1) There is no “cliff” in the PSTEP program. The State of Maine Property Tax Fairness program
has a staggered benefit amount based on income levels (up to $97,500) and amounts of rent or
mortgage paid during the year. The City applies our matching rules to the State benefit amount,
so our program also would be considered to have a staggered benefit amount based on income.

RE: P‑STEP Expansion Discussion
Background
The Portland Senior Tax Equity Program (P‑STEP), adopted in 2017, was created to ease
the burden of rising housing costs for low-income seniors. The program is structured to
support recipients of the Maine Property Tax Fairness Credit and is designed to
supplement state-level relief efforts. As part of the FY25 Finance Committee work plan,
P‑STEP expansion is under consideration at the request of several current Councilors,
including myself. This memo provides policy context and a suggested framing for a
phased expansion over five years.
Why Expansion, and Why Now?
1. Residential Revaluation Has Created Disparities
Portland’s 2025 citywide revaluation significantly increased the taxable value of
residential properties by 43% on average. Commercial properties rose by only 19%. This
gap structurally shifts the tax burden toward individual homeowners. Even with a
reduced FY26 mil rate of $11.98, many low- and middle-income households will
experience increases in tax bills despite no increase in their income.
2. Property Tax is Not an Income-Based System
While revaluation itself does not raise revenue, it redistributes the tax burden. Without a
tool like P‑STEP, that redistribution risks reinforcing existing inequities. P‑STEP is one
of the only available tools the City has to introduce income sensitivity into our system.
3. Now Is the Right Political Moment
Tax bills are arriving in mailboxes as we meet. Expanding P‑STEP shows that local
government can take meaningful action in the face of state and federal tax policy that
continues to reward wealth while burdening working-class households.

Proposed Path: A Phased Expansion Over Five Years
To allow the City to manage the fiscal and administrative ramp-up, this proposal phases
in rebate amounts for younger income-qualified residents. Anyone who qualifies under
the Maine Property Tax Fairness Credit could apply, but rebate levels would be
introduced gradually over five years:
Year 1 (FY27): Offer full $1,200 rebate to eligible residents aged 62+; offer a $300 rebate to
eligible residents under 62. Launch targeted outreach to renters and underserved
populations.
Year 2 (FY28): Maintain full rebate for 62+; increase under-62 rebate to $600.
Year 3 (FY29): Increase under-62 rebate to $900.
Year 4 (FY30): Reach parity—$1,200 rebate for all eligible income-qualified residents,
regardless of age.
Year 5 (FY31): Stabilize funding, evaluate outcomes, and refine program administration.
Request to Staff: Mil Rate Modeling
If the Finance Committee wishes to pursue this expansion, the next step would be for
staff to model what mil rate adjustments would be required to fund full rebates for all
households eligible under an expanded P‑STEP program—including renters and
non-seniors—using the Maine Property Tax Fairness Credit as the eligibility benchmark.
This analysis should assume revenue neutrality and draw on data from the past three
fiscal years.
Conclusion
We need this expansion because Portland’s property tax system is structurally blind to
income. Revaluation improves equity between properties, but it does not account for the
lived economic reality of Portlanders whose incomes have not kept pace with the value
of their homes. P‑STEP offers the City a local mechanism to mitigate these effects in a
fair, targeted, and fiscally responsible way.
This proposal does not require new spending. It is designed to be revenue-neutral,
redistributing existing property tax burdens in a way that prioritizes those most in need
of relief, while asking more of those most able to contribute.
