Property tax rates to re-split as Delaware advances reassessment reform

Four out of five bills in a legislative package designed to ease the impact of Delaware’s sweeping property reassessment cleared their first committee hearings June 10. The package inches ahead in the wake of the first reassessment in decades, or some 40 years in New Castle County, which largely finished last year. Lawmakers held a series of hearings last fall to examine that rollout, as residential property values – and in many cases, tax bills – spiked. Sponsored by Rep. Cyndie Romer, the first bill requires all municipalities in New Castle County to share building permit data with the county every month. This proposal, Romer said, stemmed from those hearings, wherein officials pointed to a lack of shared data as a “flaw” in the process. She also told her colleagues a working group will continue to recommend statewide guidelines, pending passage of a different resolution from the Newark Democrat. Romer anticipates more on data collection in Kent and Sussex counties next session. How we got here: Delaware lawmakers file reassessment fixes as session end nears The second bill from the same sponsor would allow county school districts to again reset their property tax rates for the next tax year.
