I recently sold (or bought) a property why did I receive (or not receive) the tax bill?

Under Maine Law the payment of property taxes is the responsibility of the owner on record as of April 1st. The tax bill for the first half of annual taxes due will always have the owner on record for April 1st on the bill. If we are notified that the owner has changed since April 1st, we can put "c/o (new owner's name)" and new mailing address on that bill. For more information regarding the obligations of buyers and sellers please see the Important Notice about Property Taxes for Buyers and Sellers (PDF).
