ATTN: New Castle County Delaware Homeowners‼️
🏡 Tax Assessment Update 🏡
If you opened your mailbox yesterday and found a REVISED property tax bill, no need to worry.
Take note 📝 :
1. This is not an additional bill. It replaces the bill that is normally due on 9/1.
2. Your lender will handle the payment if you have an escrow account on your mortgage.
What happened:
The original bill, sent in July (and many homeowners did not receive a mailed copy), was based on the county’s reassessment. New Castle County later made adjustments to how property taxes were calculated, which delayed the due date. Now that everything is finalized, the updated bill has been issued.
If you do NOT escrow or do NOT have a mortgage:
✅ Yes, this amount is due by 12/31/25.
If you DO escrow:
Log in to your mortgage portal and review your escrow activity. Your lender may have already paid the earlier bill. If they overpaid, you can contact them to request a refund of the difference.
If you need help reviewing or understanding your bill, feel free to reach out.
And please feel free to share this information!
