How foreclosure and tax sales work in Maine
General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.
Maine uses judicial foreclosure: the lender must sue in court, and the property is sold by the lender's attorney at a public sale after a court judgment.
Maine is generally a tax deed state: after taxes go unpaid long enough, the town after a tax lien matures sells the property itself at auction.
