Maine Recorders Information

Real estate deeds that transfer property in Maine can be recorded to provide constructive notice of the transfer. In most cases deed documents are recorded in the county where the property is located.

When the register of deeds receives an instrument, they will certify on the instrument the day, hour, and minute when it was received for recording, along with the book and page number where the document is located. If there is not sufficient room on the deed for the placement of such information, the register of deeds will add an additional page, for which an extra $2 can be charged.
