DelawareAN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 9 AND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PROPERTY TAX COLLECTION.
What it does
This Act requires the tax collecting authority of each county, in the first tax year following a general reassessment, to allow the payment of school taxes under a payment plan of at least 3 equal installments for a residential taxpayer, in a primary residence, whose tax bill increases by $300 or more over the prior year. No late fees, interest, or penalties may be assessed to a taxpayer who enters and complies with a payment plan. The Act also reduces late payment penalties for school taxes in New Castle County to 1% per month, the current penalty for late payment in Kent and Sussex.
