If you think Washington County has the capacity to take over code enforcement you must never have been there. In reality land use regulation would fall to a state agency named LURC, and trust me, no one likes LURC. There would be no "code enforcement" because Maine lacks a statewide building code so without a municipal government there would be no code to enforce.
We're discussing a municipality that runs on the Town Meeting/ Selectmen form of government, which is essentially pure Athenian democracy (including public debate of ordinances and the town budget by the citizenry in open meeting) and they elect a handful of people to sign checks.
