AI Summary
This joint resolution directs several key state officials to develop comprehensive recommendations for improving the statewide process of real property reassessment in Delaware. The resolution stems from a 2020 Chancery Court ruling that found Delaware counties were using outdated property valuations and a subsequent 2021 settlement requiring county reassessments. The officials, working under the Lieutenant Governor's direction and in collaboration with counties and the University of Delaware, are tasked with exploring several specific areas, including determining the most appropriate state agency to oversee reassessments, surveying best practices from neighboring states, assessing staffing needs for a potential State Assessment Practices Board, exploring the feasibility of a State Property Tax Court, identifying potential funding sources, and evaluating the effectiveness of recent reassessments. The resolution requires these officials to deliver a written report of their recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly by January 12, 2026, with the ultimate goal of creating a more uniform, efficient, and equitable property tax reassessment process that aligns with professional assessment standards and learns from approaches used in other states.
