Local offices and records
Property valuation, unpaid town taxes, recorded deeds, and court judgments are different tasks. Start with the office that matches the record or notice in front of you.
Town of Skowhegan only · assessed value and assessment records
Ask the Assessors Office about assessed value, assessment records, or a property card for a Town address. That is different from a tax balance, recorded deed, or court judgment.

Somerset County · probate and estate court matters
Use the Maine Probate Courts county directory to find the Somerset County Probate Court contact route for an estate or probate record. The court directory is a starting point for contact information; use the papers for the specific estate when asking about its next step.

Maine sale rule
Maine charges $2.20 for every $500 of value, or fraction of $500, when a deed transfers real estate. By law, the seller and buyer each pay half. Since November 1, 2025, an extra $3.80 per $500 applies to the part of the value above $1,000,000. The county register of deeds calculates and collects the tax when the deed is recorded.
Ask the closing professional to show the transfer-tax calculation and whether an exemption applies to your transfer. Exemptions have conditions, so check the deed and sale details rather than assuming a regular sale qualifies.
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.
