Vehicle Registration
Vehicle registration in Maine generally requires payment of an excise tax to the municipality in which the vehicle is kept and a registration fee to the State of Maine. The Town of Skowhegan acts as an agent for the State, most re-registrations and many first-time registrations are processed by the Town eliminating the need for a separate transaction with the state.
