Maine's individual income tax runs a real 7.15% base top marginal rate for the overwhelming majority of taxpayers, applying in Yarmouth as statewide, alongside a full Social Security exemption and a $48,216 pension deduction (tax year 2025, subject to an income-based phaseout) (base record).
Yarmouth's own, explicitly provisional 2026 mill rate
Yarmouth's updated 2026 mill rate ran $14.62 per $1,000 assessed value (1.462% effective), above both Maine's own statewide anchor (~1.10%) and the national median (~1.02%) -- though the source itself described this figure as possibly subject to slight revision once final, following a real, dated 2025 property revaluation (base record).
Maine's 5.5% sales tax, with no local option
Maine's general sales tax runs a real, current 5.5% statewide, with no county- or city-level local option layered on top anywhere in the state (base record).
A likely, unquantified coastal insurance premium
This pass did not confirm a Yarmouth-specific homeowners-insurance figure, so this record uses Maine's own statewide range ($1,335-$1,433/year) while disclosing genuine direct Casco Bay coastal exposure likely carries a real premium (base record).
