About

I'm Noel Madore, a Certified Maine Assessor (CMA #926). As a primary assessors' agent I handled waterfront and commercial valuation, personal property, BETE/BETR, commitments, and abatements, and walked more than 10,000 properties in revaluation work.

Before that I spent five years in senior public finance across Maine state government and public higher education, most recently as a senior financial analyst. I have served on Lewiston's Board of Assessment Review and the Readfield Planning Board.

I hold a Master of Public Policy & Management from USM's Muskie School, with a finance concentration, and a bachelor's in Public Management focused on town administration.

PHILOSOPHY

Public information should be designed for the public.

Making something public is important. Making it usable is just as important. Taxpayers should be able to find what the town has on record for their property and understand how the assessment was reached.
