I purchased my property in June of this year, why is the former owner’s name still listed on the tax bill? I sold my property in September of this year, why is my name still on the tax bill?

We are required, by law, to commit property taxes to the owner of record as of April 1st. It would be in your best interest to forward the bill to the new owner in a timely manner. Although someone else may now be the owner of the property, your name is on the bill an in accordance with Maine law you retain liability for the remainder of the tax year to ensure the taxes are paid.
