Notice Regarding Water Testing Kits & Questionnaires
**ATTENTION**
A growing number of homeowners have reported receiving fake water testing kits in the mail – along with questionnaires requesting detailed information about the consumers, their water usage habits, household water equipment, etc. After submitting the kits along with their information, consumers are then contacted by businesses who warn them about the poor quality of their water – and then offer to perform a thorough in-home water assessment, free of charge. They then try to sell expensive water softeners and other equipment once they arrive at the residents’ homes.

Sussex County Reassessment Update
Over 150,000 parcels have been visited by Tyler’s data collectors for the countywide reassessment. This represents 81% of the overall parcel count for the county of Sussex. Data collection is on track to be completed in the spring of 2024. Data collection crews have completed all work in the west side of the county and are now concentrated on completing data collection in Tax Districts 235, 334 & 335 – Milton/Rehoboth/Lewes.
In mid-January, you will begin to see some of our data collectors transitioning to begin working in tax districts 130, 230, & 330 – Milford/Ellendale/Slaughter Beach and surrounding areas.
Although our primary focus has shifted to collecting data in the east, you may still see our data collectors in areas that were previously collected. Revisits take place to add new construction from permits, confirm or correct property data during quality control checks, or to follow up on requests from property owners to revisit and update their data. In any case, our process is always the same, and our data collectors can be identified by their bright yellow vest, county issued photo ID, contractor magnets on their vehicles, and can also be confirmed by viewing their photos on our project website, under the section for Project Documents, Data Collectors.
It is also important to note that Tyler data collectors do all of their work Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 AM and 4:30 PM, and we never ask to go inside of anyone’s home or auxiliary buildings. All measurements of buildings are done on the exterior of a structure. If an adult is available at the property to answer questions, data collectors may ask a series of questions pertaining to the dwelling, such as:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Types of heating and cooling systems
- Year house was built
- General construction, materials, and physical condition of the interior and exterior
- Level of finish to attics and/or basements
The data collector will also take photos of any buildings on the property using an iPad or camera to assist in identifying the property and to support valuation of its improvements for reassessment purposes.
For additional information on the reassessment process, please visit the project website: https://empower.tylertech.com/Sussex-County-Delaware.html
