Maine Tax-Delinquent Properties · Oxford County
14 properties indexed. Acquisition from $350. Every listing is past the 18-month redemption window — ready to file.
Oxford County sits in western Maine between the White Mountains and the Androscoggin River — a mix of lake-region vacation land and working rural towns. Delinquent parcels average 14 years unpaid, with acquisition costs starting around $350. Norway, South Paris, and Rumford all have listings, plus significant woodland acreage well past the redemption window.
Under Maine Revised Statutes Title 36 §943, municipalities may take tax-acquired title after the 18-month redemption period expires. Once a property has been tax-acquired, an investor can petition for a §946 Tax Deed — the mechanism that transfers title without a quiet title lawsuit. DeedScout generates that filing in minutes.
The foreclosure timeline in Maine runs: lien attachment → 18-month redemption → tax-acquired title → §946 petition window. Properties in this database have already completed the first three steps. You're looking at properties where the clock has run — many for over a decade.
Maine's statutory framework makes tax-delinquent property acquisition more investor-friendly than most states. Here's the sequence from delinquency to deed.
When property taxes go unpaid, a lien automatically attaches to the property under Title 36 §552. The municipality records this in the county registry.
The owner has 18 months to pay all back taxes, interest (8% per annum), and costs. After this window closes, the right to redeem is extinguished under Title 36 §943.
The municipality holds tax-acquired title. The former owner has no further right to cure. The property is now eligible for §946 petition.
An investor petitions the municipality's governing board. The board reviews the application and — if no redemption is pending — issues a Tax Deed under Title 36 §946.
The Tax Deed is recorded at Oxford County Registry of Deeds. Title transfers. No quiet title action required — the statutory process is self-executing.
