What stands out about how Livermore Falls is run

Read from the town’s budget and official records.

The school district

Regional School Unit 73

Your share of the 2022 budget

About $919 per resident a year, or $2.52 a day

Day-to-day services only (a Census Bureau estimate). The biggest line: roads & transportation, at 22%.

Where the money comes from
Property taxes 63%From the state 28%Interest, fines & other 6%Fees & charges 3%Sales taxes <1%

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Livermore Falls collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.

An estimate

Livermore Falls didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Building projects $41,000; interest on debt $48,000. With these, the whole budget was $3 million.
