Local records and offices
Rockland is the Knox County seat, but city and county offices handle different records. Property value, city tax bills, deed recording, probate records, and court-case status are separate questions. Use the address and the actual bill, notice, or record when you contact an office; the county-seat description does not determine a particular property's municipal boundary or estate venue.
City of Rockland · assessment, valuation, and city tax-bill information
Use this City department for assessment and tax-bill information. An assessed value is not the amount currently due; ask the City about a specific bill, notice, or tax-relief program.
207-594-0303 · 270 Pleasant Street, Rockland, ME 04841.
Knox County · deed recording and document submission
Use the Registry for county deed-recording and document-submission questions. A deed record is different from a city assessment, tax balance, or current court-case status.
207-594-0422 · 62 Union Street, Rockland, ME 04841.
Knox County · local probate-record route
Call about local probate records and the right county contact for an estate question. The county contact does not by itself determine an estate-specific venue or who may sign for a property.
207-594-0427 · 62 Union Street, Rockland, ME 04841.
City of Rockland · permits, code enforcement, and multi-unit inspection contact

Maine sale rule
Maine charges $2.20 for every $500 of deed value, or fraction of $500. By law, the standard tax is split evenly between seller and buyer. For example, a taxable $100,000 deed has 200 $500 units: $440 total, or $220 for each side.
Since November 1, 2025, the part of the value above $1,000,000 has an additional $3.80 tax for each $500. The county Registry of Deeds calculates and collects the tax from the transfer-tax declaration filed when the deed is recorded. Ask the closing professional to show the transaction-specific calculation and allocation.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

For a property in the City of Rockland, contact the Assessing Department at 207-594-0303 about assessment and tax-bill information. Its official page links to City tax bills and tax-relief programs. An assessed value does not show whether a particular bill is unpaid or what is currently due.
The Knox County Registry of Deeds handles deed-recording and document-submission questions. Call 207-594-0422 at 62 Union Street in Rockland. Deed records do not confirm a city tax balance or current court-case status.
The Registry of Deeds is the county deed-recording route, not a confirmation of current court-case status. For a judgment, use the court and case number shown on the actual court document to ask about the case. A recorded deed or assessed value is not a substitute for that status check.
The Knox County Registry of Probate is the local probate-record contact at 207-594-0427. The county contact alone does not determine the estate venue or who may sign for a particular property.
Call the City of Rockland Planning & Code Enforcement Department at 207-594-0308 about City permits, code enforcement, or its multi-unit inspection route. Ask about the exact property address and notice or project.
