DEFINITIONS
Homestead. “Homestead” means residential real property owned by an individual or individuals and
occupied by those individuals as their permanent residence. Residential real property held in a revocable
living trust for a beneficiary who occupies the property as his or her permanent residence also qualifies as
a homestead.
Permanent residence. “Permanent residence” means that place where an individual has a true, fixed, and
permanent home and principal establishment to which the individual, whenever absent, has the intention
of returning. An individual may have only one permanent residence at a time and, once a permanent
residence is established, that residence is presumed to continue until circumstances indicate otherwise.
Permanent resident. "Permanent resident" means an individual who has established a permanent
residence. A cooperative housing corporation may apply for a homestead exemption to be applied against
the valuation of property of the corporation that is occupied by qualifying shareholders. To qualify, the
corporation must complete an Application for Maine Homestead Property Tax Exemption for Cooperative
Housing Corporations.
