Thinking about selling your Maine land? Tell us where it is and what you know about it. We’ll review the details, and you can decide whether an offer fits your plans.
Start with the details you have. You don’t need every answer to reach out.
Start here: Find your county below, gather the land ID or tax bill you have, and tell us about your plans. You can reach out with the details you know.
You can ask questions before deciding what to do.
Share the location, acres and when you’d like to sell. Mention any loan, unpaid taxes or shared owners.
We look at the information you send. If we need more to review the land, we’ll ask. You can ask how any proposed offer works.
Read the written price, costs, dates and conditions. If you choose to move ahead, confirm the next steps with the people handling the closing.
Choose the area where the land sits, even if you live somewhere else.
Start with the town or township where your land sits. Maine has areas called the unorganized territory, or UT. These areas aren't part of an organized town or city. Maine Revenue Services serves as the assessor there. The assessor keeps the records and values used for property taxes.
The state property-tax guide explains this split. For land in a town or city, ask its local assessing office about the property record. For UT land, use the state's record tools rather than searching a nearby town's files.
The state's tax map instructions show how to find a piece of land using its township, Plan and Lot numbers. You can find the Plan and Lot on a tax bill or property record card. Copy all of those details; a township name alone may leave you with several possible matches.
If you inherited the land or live far away, start with the papers you have. Tell us what is still missing. Our document checklist helps you gather a small, useful file.

You don’t need a perfect file to start. A clear note is more useful than a guess that sounds certain.
For example: “I own about five acres in this county. I have the tax bill, but I haven’t found a survey. I’d like to compare offers before deciding.”
