Soon after the start of each new year, Maine towns begin their budget process, proposing, fine-tuning and ultimately presenting at annual town meeting a proposed package of how to spend property taxes collected for municipal and educational purposes.

Some towns will hold meetings in March, a few in April and May, and many in June.
