Registers of deeds are paid annual salaries and must follow rules on fees, accounting, copies, and deadlines for sending deed and transfer information to municipal assessors.

Registers of deeds in the several counties shall receive annual salaries as set forth in Title 30‑A, section 2. [PL 1987, c. 737, Pt.

All registers, except in the western district of Oxford County, shall devote their entire time to the duties of the office. They shall account monthly under oath to the county treasurers for all fees received by them or payable to them by virtue of the office, specifying the items, and shall pay the whole amount of the same to the treasurers of their respective counties monthly by the 15th day of the following month. They may make abstracts and copies from the records and furnish the same to persons calling for them and may charge a reasonable fee for such service, but shall not give an opinion upon the title to real estate. [PL 1981, c. 40, §6 (AMD).] Registers shall photocopy each warranty or quitclaim deed received and send the copy to the assessors of the appropriate municipality within 30 days of recordation.
