Burning Update 09/25/2025:

Due to this week’s rain all open burning is allowed in Litchfield. If your burn requires a permit please obtain one free of charge through the Maine Forest Service website.
     I am monitoring the tropical storms and hurricanes developing in the Caribbean this season and will let you know if any are likely to effect us directly. As always the best plan is to be prepared and now is the time. Extra drinking water, non perishable food, your medications, food for your pets. Make a ‘go bag’ with just the essentials in case you have to leave your home for a little while. As of today there is no direct threat to Maine with the storms developing well south of us. This forecast is changing rapidly and I will keep you up to date as information becomes more clear next week.
     See the links below if you are interested.
Best,
Chief Sherman

2025 Tax Bills (Why so high?):

Here is a 2025 Tax Explanation that might help you understand this year’s bill.  2025-2026 property tax bills have been mailed out. The first payment is due October 15th. If you would prefer to pay smaller amounts more frequently throughout the year, we accept payments at any time. If you were expecting a bill and haven’t received one, please contact the Town Office and we can check to see if you have a balance.
