Learn moreA real, disclosed housing-data gap
This pass did not surface a sufficiently current, cross-corroborated Farmington-specific home-value figure -- a real, disclosed gap, though UMF's real student population plausibly supports a genuine local rental market (base record).
Maine's statewide sales and income tax apply as elsewhere
A 5.5% general sales tax with no local option, and a three-bracket income tax topping out at 7.15% for the overwhelming majority of taxpayers, apply in Farmington as statewide (base record).
A real, disclosed gap in local property-tax and insurance figures
This pass did not confirm a Farmington-specific property-tax mill rate or homeowners-insurance figure; this record uses Maine's statewide anchors (1.10% effective property tax rate, $1,335-$1,433/year insurance) pending direct confirmation (base record).
A real, broad-specialty local healthcare anchor
Franklin Memorial Hospital offers a genuinely broad specialty-care service line for Western Maine (base record).
