WELCOME TO THE TOWN OF SCARBOROUGH, MAINE

Welcome to the Town of Scarborough's website. It is designed to provide information to visitors on our family oriented community of almost 20,000 residents and a site for our residents to find the latest information on town activities; actions of the Town Council and various boards and commissions; resources on town services, budget and financial information, recreational opportunities and town documents; and links to civic groups, schools and the library. For our visitors and recent newcomers, Scarborough is one of the fastest growing communities in the State of Maine, a premier community for families and businesses and a destination for outdoors enthusiasts. For residents we encourage frequent visits to the website, because it will provide you with the latest information on construction activity, pending actions before the Town Council, reminders on license renewals and helpful and useful information.
