The State of Maine has authorized Roxbury to re-register or collect excise only for certain automobiles, trucks and recreational vehicles. An excise tax is paid and kept by Roxbury. Other registration fees are collected, and forwarded to the State of Maine.

• The excise tax is based on the sticker price, or original list price of the vehicle. A mil rate of $24.00 per thousand is charged to a new vehicle. Each year the mil rate reduces until the vehicle is 6 years old. The minimum rate is $4.00 per thousand.
• A 5.5% sales tax, unless paid to a Maine dealer, is collected at the time of registration. The sales tax is based on the purchase price of the vehicle.
• Other fees such as registration, title fee and agent fees are also collected at the time of registration.
• Proof of Roxbury residency required.

For first-time registrations:

• 1995 and newer vehicles require a Title when registering for the first time, by a new owner.
