Contact us at 207-668-2111. We can walk you through what you will need to bring into us to get a new vehicle registration done.

Basic re-registration information includes the old registration, the current mileage, and insurance.

 Do you have 100LL at the Airport?

YES.  100LL is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week with a credit card.

 Do I need a permit for a camp fire?

YES.  Campfires are allowed at designated campsites. Most campsites in the Jackman-Moose River area, and all campsites on the Bow River Trip, require a fire permit.

A fire permit may be obtained by calling the Maine Forest Service at 207-827-1800. Permits can no longer be filled out at the Jackman-Moose River Fire Department.

All fires must be properly extinguished prior to leaving the campsite. All trash and garbage must be packed out unless trash cans are provided at the campsite. 

A new law that mandates burn permits for larger campfires: LD 24 will impact fires that exceed 3 feet in height and 3 feet in diameter that are not for debris disposal. Notably, permits for burning brush and wood debris remain unaffected and are still required under the existing regulations. The new law also makes it unlawful for burning outdoors during red flag warning days.

Maine residents and visitors planning fires larger than the specified dimensions, often referred to as "bonfires," will be required to obtain burn permits. These permits are available free of charge and can be secured online after 9 a.m. at maineburnpermit.com.
