Useful local offices
Waldoboro is a town in Lincoln County, and Town and County offices handle different records. Use the property address and the paper you have: an assessment record, tax bill, deed, court notice, or permit notice.
Town of Waldoboro · assessment records and tax-map or commitment-book routing
Use Assessing for public assessment records and questions about the Town’s tax maps or commitment book. Property assessment is different from a tax bill, a recorded deed, or a court-file question.
Town Office, 1600 Atlantic Highway, Waldoboro, ME 04572 · 207-832-5369 ext. 2.
Town of Waldoboro · municipal property-tax accounts, bills, delinquency, and tax liens
Contact Finance / Tax Collection about a Town property-tax account, bill, delinquent tax, or tax-lien question. This is separate from the Town’s assessment records and Lincoln County deed records.
Town Office, 1600 Atlantic Highway, Waldoboro, ME 04572 · 207-832-5369 ext. 1.
Lincoln County · recorded deeds, land-transaction records, and recording information
Use the Registry for recorded deeds and other land-document or recording questions. A deed search is not the same as a Town assessment, a current property-tax balance, or a court’s case record.
First floor, Lincoln County Courthouse, 32 High Street, Wiscasset, ME 04578 · 207-882-7431. The County reports online access to scanned deed records.
Lincoln County · probate matters, wills, and personal-representative appointment routing
Use the Registry for probate information and local filing or contact routing. The County describes its Probate Court as handling matters that include wills and appointment of personal representatives. The correct estate venue and who may act depend on the specific estate and its documents.
Lincoln County Courthouse, 32 High Street, P.O. Box 249, Wiscasset, ME 04578 · 207-882-7392. Services are by appointment; call before traveling.
Town of Waldoboro · local land use, permits, and inspections
Contact Planning / Code about Town land-use, building-permit, inspection, or Code Enforcement questions. Use the property address and any notice when asking about a specific property.
Town Office, 1600 Atlantic Highway, Waldoboro, ME 04572 · 207-832-5369 ext. 8 · Code Enforcement Officer: ceo@waldoboromaine.org.
Maine sale rule
When a deed transfers real estate in Maine, the transfer tax is $2.20 for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. By law, the standard tax is split evenly between the seller and buyer. Since November 1, 2025, the part of the value above $1,000,000 has an additional $3.80 per $500.
The Lincoln County Registry of Deeds calculates and collects the tax from the transfer-tax declaration filed when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt under specific conditions; a regular sale to a buyer usually does not qualify. Ask the closing professional to check the declaration, calculation, and any exemption for your transaction.
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.
