Conservation Easement Registry

The Maine Department of Conservation (MDOC) maintains a mandatory statewide registry for all conservation easements held in Maine (33 MRSA, 479C). All holders of conservation easements on real estate in maine must register their easemetns annually and confirm the monitoring status of their easements.

 

The annual reporting and account renewal deadline is March 30. New accounts can be established and new conservation easements registered at any time of the year.

 

The registry has been set up on line for easy use and management of the holder's information. You will be able to manage and edit your information on line and download it for off-line use.

 

The MDOC will report annually to the Legislature on the status of the registry and on the level of conservation-easement activity statewide.
