This entire website is currently being updated. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Due to the national and state declarations of emergency, town-wide changes have been made. This page is an attempt to answer some common questions and we provide contact information at the bottom of this page if you do not find your answers here.

Thank you for your cooperation.

TOWN OFFICE

The Town Office is closed to the public until further notice; however, we are rotating staff to be in the office Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 8am and 4:30pm. We will answer phones when the office is staffed.

If you have a request for documents or information when the office is not staffed, we recommend faxing the request instead of emailing or leaving a voicemail for a specific person; that way, someone can attend to your request as soon as possible. Otherwise, contact the office during staffed days to find out the best person to direct a call or to email.

RE-REGISTRATION:  The state has given us directives concerning registrations.

Motor Vehicles and Trailers:
Visit: www.maine.gov/vehicle ; or, if you are unable to register online, registrations have been extended to 30 days after the state of emergency has been lifted. Example: if your registration was due by March 31, 2020, and the state of emergency is lifted April 30, you will need to register your vehicle by May 30.

Boats:
Boaters will be allowed to operate without a current 2020 registration and milfoil sticker until April 30, 2020. Boaters are still encouraged to re-register their boats online @   www.maine.gov/boat.

ATVs:
Current ATV registrations expire June 30, 2020. If the state of emergency has not been lifted by that time, or you did not re-register your ATV for the 19-20 year, you may do so online @  www.maine.gov/atv.

NEW REGISTRATION:  The state has given us directives concerning registrations.

Dealer Sale:

Motor Vehicles and Trailers:
Temporary plates are extended through the state of emergency and should be registered as soon as possible after the state of emergency has been lifted.

Permission has also been granted for trucks with temporary registrations to carry a load.

Boats:
Temporary registrations from dealers are good for 20 days. During that time you may work with the town office to register your boat via the postal service.

ATVs:
Temporary registrations should offer enough time to work with the town office to register your ATV via the postal service.

Private Sale:

Motor Vehicles and Trailers:
A letter is available from the Secretary of State that will serve as a temporary registration. Once we receive documentation that shows the purchase is valid, we can make arrangements to get a copy of this letter to you.

Boats: Contact the town office to process this via postal service.

ATVs: Contact the town office to process this via postal service.

VITAL STATISTICS:

Birth, Death, Marriage Certificates: Contact the town office to process this via postal service.

Marriage Licenses: Contact the town office to process this via postal service.

Marriage intentions will need to be completed to obtain a marriage license.

REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX:

Payments can be made by mail or over the phone by credit card. We recommend calling the office to get the current balance due and mailing a check as the credit card option comes with an additional 2.5% charge by the portal company.

Homestead and Veteran Exemption Applications:  The deadline set for a person to file an application for the Maine resident homestead or veteran property tax exemption is temporarily extended from April I until the commitment date of the municipality or 30 days after the termination of the emergency, whichever occurs first.

Personal Property Business Equipment: The deadline for a person to file an application for the business equipment tax exemption is temporarily extended from April 1 until the commitment date of the municipality or 30 days after the termination of the emergency, whichever occurs first.
