Bill > HB248

This bill amends Title 9 of the Delaware Code to modify tax payment procedures for all three Delaware counties (New Castle, Kent, and Sussex). Currently, the law allows county tax receivers, treasurers, and finance directors to accept real estate tax payments on a quarterly basis. The bill expands this flexibility by explicitly permitting tax payments to be made on a monthly basis as well. Previously, language in the existing law excluded New Castle County from this provision, but the new bill removes that restriction, thereby standardizing tax payment options across all counties. By allowing more frequent payment intervals, the bill provides property owners with increased flexibility in managing their tax obligations, potentially making it easier for residents to budget and pay their real estate taxes throughout the year.
