PUBLIC Law Chapter 386

including planning, permitting and ensuring compliance, must be

assessed a fee equal to .0l% of the most recent equalized state

valuation established by the State Tax Assessor for that town or

plantation or that portion of a town or plantation under the

commission's jurisdiction. The State Tax Assessor shall issue a

warrant to each such town or plantation no later than March 1st of

each year. The warrant is payable on demand. Interest charges on

unpaid fees begin on June 30th of each year and are compounded

monthly at the interest rate for unpaid property tax as established

by the State Tax Assessor for the unorganized territory. For any

assessment that remains unpaid as of September 1st of the year in

which it is due, state revenue sharing to that town or plantation

must be reduced by an amount equal to any unpaid warrant amount

plus any accrued interest, until the amount is paid. These fees

must be deposited to the General Fund.

Sec. I-3. Transition. For a town or plantation with only a portion
of its land under the jurisdiction of the Department of
Conservation, Maine Land Use Regulation Commission and receiving

commission services only on that portion, the State Tax Assessor
shall recalculate the fee assessed under the Maine Revised
Statutes, Title 12, section 685-E for fiscal year 2004-05 and
issue a revised warrant for that town or plantation. The town or
plantation is not required to pay a warrant issued between
January 1st and March 1st of 2005. The town or plantation is
required to pay the revised assessment fee within 90 days of
receiving the revised warrant. State revenue sharing for that
town or plantation for fiscal year 2005-06 may not be reduced
under Title 12, section 685-E unless that town or plantation
fails to pay the assessment within 150 days of receiving the
revised warrant.
