Local offices by question
Start with the office that handles the record
Augusta is in Kennebec County, but city services and county land records are separate paths. If the property is in a nearby town, confirm its municipality before relying on an Augusta city office.
City of Augusta permits and property questions
For a building, permit, or city property question about an Augusta address, start with the city's official site and confirm the current instructions for that property.
City assessment and property-tax questions
Use the city's assessing office for assessment records and its tax-collection office for a city tax question. If the house is outside Augusta, check with the municipality shown for that address.
Kennebec County Registry of Deeds
Start here for a recorded deed or other county land-record question. A recorded document is not the same as a city assessment record.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Sixty-six years old, widowed, and the house had more property taxes than I wanted to keep paying — $5,800 a year in NH on a fixed income. My son in Boston had been after me to move south. USA Home Buyers gave me a fair number, no open houses, no strangers in my house. Closed in eight days. I was in Massachusetts before spring.”
“My parents owned a house near the Millyard for 40 years. After my mother passed, my brother and I needed to settle the estate quickly — we both have jobs and families, neither of us lives in Manchester. USA Home Buyers had a written offer the next day and we closed in 11 days. The whole process was straightforward.”
“I relocated to Boston for work and had my Manchester house on the market for three months with an agent — two failed offers, one buyer who couldn't get financing. USA Home Buyers gave me a written number the next morning and we closed before my lease on the new apartment ran out.”
Questions about Augusta places and selling
Are Augusta city and Kennebec County the same place?
No. Augusta is a city in Kennebec County. City services and county land records answer different questions, so use the property address to find the right office.
Is North Augusta inside the City of Augusta?
North Augusta is listed as a village within Augusta. For a permit, tax, or property-record question, use the exact address rather than relying only on a neighborhood name.
What if my house is in Hallowell, Manchester, Sidney, Vassalboro, Windsor, or Chelsea?
Those are nearby communities, not neighborhood names for the City of Augusta. Share the property address so the municipality and the relevant local office can be identified.
Where should I start with a permit, property-tax, or deed question?
For an Augusta property, start with the City of Augusta for city permit questions, the city assessing or tax-collection office for those records, and the Kennebec County Registry of Deeds for recorded land documents. If the property is outside Augusta, confirm the actual municipality first.
Where can I ask about an estate or probate matter?
Use the Maine Judicial Branch site to find current probate-court contacts. Estate authority and who can sign depend on the documents and circumstances; confirm that question with the court or an attorney.
Do I have to repair or clean out the house before asking for an offer?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the house and its location.
