MILTON, Del. - At the Milton Town Council Sept. 9, another consecutive property tax increase was approved. It was just last year that the town approved raising the tax by 9 percent.
The town said that the 29 percent approved for the 2025 budget would cost the average home an extra $300 a year.
The vote on the hike ended in 6-1, the one being against it was Councilman Scotty Edler who had proposed a plan for a smaller increase over a longer period of time.
This increase would take affect on homes within Milton town limits Oct. 1 when bills are due.
