- Information gathered by the Comprehensive Plan Committee will be considered.
- Looking at uses over the next 10 to 15 years.

Raymond Revaluation is Underway
February 2025
KRT has begun the data collection. A list of current streets they will be collecting data from can be found on their website along with additional information on the revaluation process. Please visit: KRT APPRAISAL - RAYMOND
AT THIS TIME, THE ASSESSING OFFICE IS NOT SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS FOR A REVAL APPRAISAL. KRT IS WORKING FROM STREET SHEETS ONLY. IF THE PROPERTY OWNER IS UNAVAILABLE A LETTER WILL BE MAILED TO THE OWNER NEAR THE END OF THE COLLECTION PHASE REQUESTING THAT AN APPOINTMENT BE SCHEDULED FOR AN INTERIOR INSPECTION.
December 2024
Our townwide Revaluation is underway. It starts now and will conclude in the summer of 2026. We have contracted KRT Appraisal of Haverhill, MA, to complete the project.
The Revaluation begins with KRT’s Data Collectors visiting every property in Raymond.
If you have any doubts at all about these visitors asking to see your property, the KRT personnel will be carrying a letter of introduction from me and the town manager. They’ll have Assessing Office signs on their vehicles and KRT credentials on their person. Follow this link to view photo ID's of the KRT data collection staff currently working in the area. If in doubt call my office to verify at 655-4742 or the Police Department at 1-800-266-1444.
Their job is to measure every building on every property and to perform a quick inspection of the interiors. In this way, you and we are assured the information used to value your property is accurate. You do not have to allow them on your property, but the information they are gathering and verifying makes an accurate assessment much more likely.
KRT will be sending postcards out in batches. Once you receive a postcard you can expect a visit within the next 60 days.
I thank you in advance for your cooperation.

The Town has been working with with GPCOG, the Maine Connectivity Authority (formerly, ConnectMaine Authority), and Sebago Fiber on getting a fiber ring through Raymond that will eventually allow for a fiber internet connection directly to the home. For information on the process and where we are headed with it click here: COLAB Update
The Town of Raymond needs your input!
Take the Internet Demand Survey Here
For the past several years, the town has been involved with a regional broadband committee with the goals of bringing fast, reliable, and futureproof internet to the region. Many homes and business have no internet connectivity, and most that do must rely on service that may be unreliable or does not serve current needs.
We are working with Sebago Fiber, a local internet service provider, to bring fast, reliable fiber internet to homes and businesses in our community. The first step is for residents and businesses to fill out the demand survey. Areas with the most demand will be built first, so be sure to let us know if you’re interested in service by filling out the survey. Questions can be emailed to [email protected].
