The Town of Bath passed an appropriations ordinance for the General Fund for a certain fiscal year in the amount of $50,000,000. Revenues were anticipated from sources other than the property tax in the amount of $22,600,000. The total market value of property in the Town amounts to $3.50 billion, but $700 million is exempt due to being owed by governmental units, churches, etc. The assessment ratio (assessment percentage of market value) for all cities in the State is 40 percent. Homestead, veterans and other exemptions amount to $40 million, based on assessed value. It is anticipated that one percent of the assessed taxes will not be collected.
