The current rate for transfer tax is $2.20 per every five hundred dollars of consideration. The transfer tax is customarily split evenly between the seller and the purchaser. Maine has a withholding tax that is payable upon the sale of real estate by non-residents of Maine. The current withholding tax rate is 2.5% of the gross sales price. A non-resident may file for an exemption from this tax if they can prove that there was not a profit made on the sale. Please send me an E-mail if you see an error or want to make a comment.
