Maine adds high-value real estate transfer tax amounts
Maine Revenue Services lists additional real estate transfer tax amounts for transfers over $1 million, effective November 1, 2025.
What changed
Maine closings above $1 million need the new additional amount modeled separately rather than relying only on the base transfer-tax rate.
Before
Maine's transfer tax was commonly estimated from the base declaration tax without a high-value surcharge line.
After
Maine adds an additional $3.80 per $500, or fractional part of $500, on the portion of real estate transfer value that exceeds $1 million.
