The current property tax rate for the Town is $.2378 per $100

March has arrived and we are looking forward to longer light filled days ahead! Bayside had a firm start to the year for real estate activity. While it is not the frenzy that we experienced in 2021 and 2022, to-date, sales are close to keeping pace with last year.

DNREC says the information session, slated for next Tuesday, will focus solely on the potential lease to allow the underground cables at the beach, including the construction plan and what will be visible following the construction. The meeting will not cover the
