Town of Stoneham 2009 Newsletter
In accordance with Maine Revised Statutes, Annotated, Section 706,
a form is sent to you each year on which you are asked to list
any and all real and personal property. The purpose of this form is two-fold.
-
It provides proper information to the Assessors for property tax assessment.
-
It provides you the right to appeal any assessment you may feel is in error.
If you have not made any changes to your real or personal property, you may complete
the form by writing "same as last year". If you have made changes, indicate
any addition or removal of any structures, parcels of land, or personal property.
We would like to have e-mail addresses for taxpayers. If you would print
your address in the appropriate blank, we could keep in touch with you
electronically.
If you are planning to construct new buildings including decks &
docks/swim floats or make additions to existing structures, docks/swim
floats and walkways (to the water) on your property, you need to submit
a building permit application to Derek DeSanctis, Code Enforcement Officer,
15 Cullen Road, Stoneham, ME 04231 (207-928-2030) for approval.
You should submit the application at least one month prior to starting
your project or it may cause you some delay. Applications are available at
the Town Office or on line at the Town’s web site. If you plan to do any
earthwork on property adjoining a body of water or a tributary, please
contact the Town Office or Derek DeSanctis, CEO, for additional requirements
and application. BUILDING WITHOUT A PERMIT CAN RESULT IN PENALTIES AND/OR FINES.
If you are planning to connect a driveway to a town or a state road, please
contact the Road Commissioner, Thomas Barker, P.O. Box 31, Stoneham, Maine 04231
(207-928-2964) for approval of the site location and appropriate driveway permit
(no fee) and requirements.
Burning permits are necessary for all outside burning year round. You must have
a written permit in hand before any burning takes place. Permits may be obtained from
Town Fire Warden Albert Fox, 928-3222.
