Sussex County Delaware has completed a revaluation of all real property in anticipation of the 2025 Tax Roll and property owners have been receiving notices in the mail which contain their new property assessments. Your new tentative assessment is based on 100% of the current assessed value of your property, as of July 1, 2023.
THE NOTICE IS NOT A TAX BILL. The Tax Rate will change; therefore, DO NOT multiply your new tentative assessed value by the current tax rate. The new tax rate will be determined by the County, Municipality & School District for the 2025 tax bill.
The 2025 assessments have been developed using recent valid market sales and economic data. The previous assessment was NOT a factor in determining the 2025 assessed value, and therefore cannot be considered as a basis for an appeal.
EXEMPTIONS – Tax exemptions/abatements are NOT reflected in your tentative assessment. Any exemptions for which you are eligible for (such as Handicap, Senior/65+, Abatements, Farmland, or General Exemptions) WILL BE adjusted and applied to your next tax bill, provided proper application has been approved by Sussex County.
INFORMAL HEARINGS – Informal hearings are available to any property owner who desires to have their property values reviewed. Tyler Technologies, Inc., P&R Division, the firm that conducted the Sussex County 2025 Revaluation Project, will conduct the informal hearings.
Reviews will be scheduled by appointment only. Tyler staff will discuss market value. They will not be able to discuss tax rates or estimated tax bills. A change in value will be considered if the owner can demonstrate that the assessed value is more than market value. See the back of the form for more information.
- A request for review must be made within 2 weeks of receiving your notice.
- Our call center will be open November 7, 2024, through December 13, 2024.
- Appointments may be made by calling our call center Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
- When scheduling an appointment, please have your letter in front of you, as it contains information necessary to track your property.
