State Auditor: Please Don’t Send Annual Town Reports
Training for: Legal Notes
The State Auditor’s office has asked that municipalities stop sending them annual town reports. This has been customary for some towns for some time, but it is not legally required, and the State Auditor’s office no longer has the storage capacity. (Similarly, the Maine DOT does not want annual town reports.)
We note for the record that municipal auditors are required to send their full annual post-audit report to the State Auditor (see 30-A M.R.S.A. § 5823(3)(B)), but this of course is different from the annual town report, which contains only excerpts from the municipal audit.
Annual town reports still should be mailed to: Maine State Library, Collection Services, State House Station #64, Augusta, ME 04333; Maine Revenue Services, Property Tax Division, P.O. Box 9106, Augusta, ME 04332-9106; The Fogler Library, Special Collections, 5729 Fogler Library, University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469-5729; and Maine Municipal Association, 60 Community Drive, Augusta, ME 04330. (By R.P.F.) n
