GEORGETOWN, Del. - According to a press release from Sussex County Government, 'Data mailers' will go out to residential property owners in Georgetown. Residential property owners can expect to receive this notice anytime now through spring of 2024.
The mail will include information about properties like the year a structure on it was built, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in the that structure, basement data, garage space, detached structures, a sketch/photo of the building, and other specifications.
The government says the goal of the mailers is to ensure accuracy of the information on each property reported on, which can ultimately affect the assessed value.
The County Assessment Director, Christopher Keeler says, “It’s in property owners’ best interests to make sure the information is correct so that the County has as an accurate assessment for their tax bill.”
This comes after a lawsuit over outdated property values was settled in 2021 amongst the entire state of Delaware. Assessments like this are used to calculate annual property taxes and the revenue from them for local government services and public education fees.
To provide corrections on a notice you have received or have questions about your notice, the county government encourages people to email SussexCountyDE@tylertech.com.
