In Maine the towns I am familiar with have tax rates of 8 mils to 28 mils. That is $8 per thousand dollars of valuation to $28 per thousand. With 8 mils a $100,000 property would be taxed $800 per year. At 28 mils the same property would be taxed $2,800 per year. It all depends on how much the town wants to spend. Properties in the Unorganized Territories are taxed at a much lower rate.

Also land in 'Treegrowth' is set at a lower valuation.

If each acre is set at $300, then even if you own 100 acres it's valuation is only $30,000.

Which is nice, as other states in recent years land values have gone through the roof. Folks who may have paid $50 annual taxes 15 years ago, and today are paying $5,000. [in Washington state for example]
