become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and 
Whereas, the Town of Palermo was recently revalued by Maine Revenue Services; 
and 
Whereas, the valuation is significantly higher than the prior year's valuation; and 
Whereas, in comparison to surrounding towns, the percentage increase of the 
valuation for the Town of Palermo is significant; and 
Whereas, although the law provides for a right of appeal of a valuation by a town, 
due to an administrative error in mailing, the request for an appeal was not timely 
received by the State Board of Property Tax Review; and 
Whereas, it is necessary that the appeal be heard as soon as possible to allow the 
Town of Palermo to prepare for the upcoming fiscal year; and 
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within 
the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as 
immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, 
therefore, be it 
Sec. 1. Appeal of Town of Palermo. Resolved: That, notwithstanding the 
Maine Revised Statutes, Title 36, section 272, subsection 1, the State Board of Property 
Tax Review shall consider the appeal filed by the Town of Palermo on December 8, 2005 
timely and properly filed for purposes of hearing the appeal of the Town of Palermo 
regarding the 
2006 
state valuation 
conducted 
by Maine 
Revenue 
Services. 
Notwithstanding the requirement of Title 36, section 272, subsection 2 that the board 
render its decision no later than January 15th following the filing of the appeal, the 
hearing must be held within a reasonable time and the board shall render its decision no 
later than 90 days following the effective date of this resolve. 
Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this resolve 
takes effect when approved. 
SUMMARY 
This resolve requires the State Board of Property Tax Review to accept the appeal 
filed by the Town of Palermo on December 8, 2005 regarding the 2006 valuation of the 
town as determined by Maine Revenue Services. Although an appeal was filed by the 
town, it did not contain a sworn affidavit and was sent to Maine Revenue Services instead
