So, so easy to simply call the respective town offices and ask. Most towns and cities have non-discharge areas. You're going to want to get a feel as to how they are to interact with anyway as part of your decision.

I wish it were that easy, the three times I’ve called a couple of these towns nobody’s picked up 😩

Small town clerk offices are often only staffed part time

From personal experience, Limington probably won’t answer the phone ever. Leave a message.

Go in there and chat with the clerk in the Town Office. You can also look up the hours online, sometimes they have slightly odd hours, but Mainers take their small town municipal systems very seriously (some say too seriously) So befriending, or at least knowing who to talk to, can be invaluable for a variety of reasons.
There are a lot of invisible rules, so tread lightly.

I'd make sure you're calling an appropriate dept number if you don't get a response from the clerk's office, and/or stop in in person, and/or call appropriate law enforcement agency, which may be local PD, or sheriff's office, or state police, or call the game warden for the area. They all have web sites. Small town 101, which you are going to need to learn to navigate, is a little different from living in Portland. The plus is, if you catch the right person and they have time to chat you can learn a lot about the part of town you are interested in buying.

Every time I call any part of the government there’s no response. Pretty convinced there is nine in Maine.
