This House Concurrent Resolution establishes a Property Tax Relief and Modernization Working Group to examine potential long-term reforms to Delaware’s property tax system following statewide reassessment efforts completed in 2024 and 2025.
The Working Group will evaluate policy approaches utilized in other states, including homestead exemptions, circuit breaker programs, property tax stabilization measures, differentiated taxation approaches, assessment caps, and other taxpayer protection mechanisms, while considering impacts on local government and school district fiscal stability.
