LD611

An Act to Allow the Secretary of State to Collect Excise Taxes on Motor Vehicles Owned by Residents Who Are Unhoused

Complete·5/27/25

Allows unhoused Maine residents to pay motor vehicle excise taxes directly to the Secretary of State.

This bill amends the Maine Revised Statutes to allow the Secretary of State to collect excise taxes on motor vehicles owned by residents who are unhoused. Previously, the tax had to be paid in the place where the owner resides. Now, if the resident has no residing place, the tax may be paid directly to the Secretary of State. This change aims to ensure that unhoused individuals can still fulfill their tax obligations without needing a fixed address.
