Sussex County tax bills begin to be issued
By GEORGETOWN — Sussex County’s Business Services office has begun issuing bills for the 2025 fiscal year, totaling an estimated $202 million in tax revenue for the government, it announced in a release.
For property owners without mortgage escrow accounts, paper copies will be mailed throughout August, with payment deadline of Sept. 30. Property owners not receiving a paper bill and who have a current escrow account are encouraged by Sussex County to check with their lenders to verify payment status.
Annual tax bills include county property taxes, sewer and water, tax ditch and street lighting fees as well as local school district taxes, which are set by and vary among the eight independent school districts.
Delaware law requires Sussex County to bill property owners for school taxes on behalf of the districts, with those funds then turned over to the state, the county reported.
