Delaware Property Tax

Real property taxes in Delaware are imposed at the local

level to fund municipal and county governments as well as school districts.

There are no state level property taxes in Delaware. With certain

exceptions, tax rates are the same for all types of property including

residential, industrial and commercial. Exceptions include property tax

incentives (reductions or abatements) for seniors and certain types of

businesses which locate in the state. Also, agricultural land may be treated

differently in some jurisdictions. The three Delaware counties have

different dates of assessment; they tax a different proportion of that

assessment, and they tax at different rates. Municipal and school district

rates also vary throughout the state. With a few exceptions, municipalities

and school districts use the county property assessment and assessment

ratios when imposing property taxes. ^Source
