33 M.R.S. 1601 (Condominium Act)
The Maine Condominium Act (Title 33, Chapter 31) governs condominiums created in the state on or after its effective date in 1983, and pre-existing condominiums whose owners amend their governing documents to come under it; older condominiums that do not opt in remain under Maine's prior Unit Ownership Act. It covers formation of the condominium through the declaration, bylaws and plats, association organization, governance and powers, common expense assessments and liens, association records, and the disclosures an owner and the association must give on resale of a unit. Applies to condominium unit owners' associations; Maine has no separate planned community or common interest ownership act, so non-condominium homeowners associations and housing cooperatives are governed instead by their recorded declarations and the state's nonprofit corporation law.
33 M.R.S. 1604-108 (Resales of Units)
Unless a public offering statement is required or the sale is exempt under 1604-101(b), a unit owner furnishes the purchaser, before any contract for sale or otherwise before conveyance, the declaration (without plats and plans), the bylaws, the rules, and a reasonably current certificate with twelve items: restraints on alienation; the monthly common expense assessment and any unpaid common or special assessment due from the seller; other fees; capital expenditures anticipated by the association; reserves and their designated portions; the most recent balance sheet and income and expense statement; the current operating budget; unsatisfied judgments and pending suits in which the association is a defendant; insurance for the benefit of unit owners; whether the executive board knows of alterations violating the declaration; whether it knows of health or building code violations; and any leasehold term. The association furnishes the certificate within 10 days after the unit owner's request and payment of any reasonable fee the association has established. The purchaser is not liable beyond the amounts set forth; the seller is not liable for the association's errors or delay, but the contract is voidable by the purchaser until the certificate is provided and for 5 days after, or until conveyance. Exempt: gratuitous, court-ordered, governmental, foreclosure, dealer, and freely cancellable dispositions. Applies to condominiums created before the 1983 Act as well, for later events (1601-102(a)). Maine has no planned-community or cooperative act.
Official text33 M.R.S. 1603-116 (Lien for Assessments)

On a unit owner's written request the association must furnish a recordable statement of the unpaid assessments currently levied against the unit within 10 business days after receipt of the request, binding on the association, the executive board, and every unit owner; no fee is stated. Applies to condominiums created before the 1983 Act as well, for later events (1601-102(a)).
