This is so helpful! Thank you.

Yes, we've been paying taxes on it so that should not be an issue.

I love it when reddit is actually helpful.

Thanks again.

The town tax map will give you a decent idea of the location, though it’s not an actual accurate “survey” and it’s not legally binding.

In my experience, towns are willing to email or text you a picture of the relevant tax map page if you call and ask.

If you've paid taxes, then the address is on the bill.

If the parcel doesn’t have a house on it, there may not be a street address assigned.

to further what /u/Guygan said, here is an online map of many/most of the parcels in maine. it can be a bit arcane, translating the locality tax map number and parcel number into the number used by the statewide parcel viewer, but it's usually relatively straightforward once you figure out the typical patterns they follow.

for many of the towns/territories that are not on the above map, googling '<TownName> tax map' will lead you to pdfs of the tax maps.

there are some localities where tax maps are not available via either of the 2 methods above, but they are pretty rare in my limited experience.
