Maine paperwork before the move
I could not confirm a statewide Maine tax release or town moving form from published sources. Before you book a date, ask your town office about taxes and your destination town about a placement permit.
- Have your title ready
- Ask the town office about unpaid taxes
- Ask the town or park about approval at the new site
