Field notes
The site organizes its material around Maine’s licensing threshold, then links out to separate guides on eligibility, capacity, inspections, household background checks, renewal, zoning, insurance, taxes, and subsidy rates. It gives concrete operational details, including the stated $160 full-license and $80 provisional fees, and notes that town zoning and landlord approval can be separate gates. The page also flags a 2025 statutory change without explaining its substance in the extracted text.
