Questions

Who is the largest landowner in Maine?

On county property records, STATE OF MAINE holds the most land in Maine: 43,138 acres across 397 parcels in 14 counties.

How much land do the largest landowners in Maine hold?

The 50 institutions on this list hold 252,111 acres between them. 10 of them are public bodies, such as the state, cities and agencies.

Why are no individuals on this list?

Deedlines ranks companies, trusts held by companies and government agencies only. A public ranking of private people by the land they own would be a list of where they live, so individuals are never ranked.

Where do these numbers come from?

From the assessor files of 16 Maine counties, the same records behind each county's tax roll. Acreage is what the assessor records; a survey can differ, and a company filed under two spellings counts as two names.
