Requires municipal treasurers to remove the name of a previous owner from a property tax lien if they paid their prorated share of taxes.
This bill amends the Maine Revised Statutes to require municipal treasurers to remove the name of a previous owner from a property tax lien if the owner provides proof of payment of their prorated share of taxes. The discharge of the tax lien applies only to the seller, leaving the lien against the real estate. This process mirrors the discharge of real estate mortgages, allowing for the use of a facsimile signature.
