Tax Rate Adjustment Notice

Date Posted: Tuesday, March 24th, 2026

Our charter requires the Town to use the Sussex County assessment list; however, the Town sets its own tax rate.

Following the recent countywide reassessment, the Town has adjusted its tax rates to keep any increases for residents and businesses to a minimum.

The previous tax rate was $2.15 per $100 of assessed value. The new tax rates are:

  • Residential: $0.135 per $100 of assessed value
  • Commercial: $0.250 per $100 of assessed value
