Former owners get property tax lien releases

In Maine, this law helps former owners named on a property tax lien who have sold or transferred the property. They must show proof that they paid their share of the taxes due for their ownership period. The municipal treasurer or designee must prepare and record a lien release covering only that former owner. The release must state that the former owner owed no property taxes on the released property after the transfer. The former owner pays the recording cost.
