How Bonus Points Work
Point Accrual
The bonus point system started in 1998. Points accumulate based on consecutive years of applying:
| Consecutive Years | Points Per Year |
|---|---|
| Years 1-5 | 1 point |
| Years 6-10 | 2 points |
| Years 11-15 | 3 points |
| Years 16+ | 10 points |
How You Lose Points
- Win a permit: All points reset to zero.
- Miss 2 consecutive years: All points reset to zero.
Missing one year doesn't reset your points, but it does break your consecutive streak.
Guaranteed Permit
Maine residents aged 65+ with 30 or more bonus points are guaranteed a permit if they apply. This is the maximum possible benefit of the bonus point system.
Maximum possible points in 2026 (applied every year since 1998): 160 points.
