Why the Name on a Listing Matters Here

About the Taxes

Read this first: Active Adults Realty is not a tax, legal or financial advisor and nothing below is advice. Confirm every figure with your own tax professional and with Sussex County before you rely on it.
The state picture: Delaware has no state sales tax, no estate tax and no inheritance tax, and Social Security is not taxed.
The local picture: Bay Crossing is outside the City of Lewes limits, in unincorporated Sussex County, so the property tax bill is county and school tax with no city tax on top. Sussex County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
Help programs: Sussex County has property and school tax assistance programs for owners who qualify by age, income or disability.
Call 302-549-5164 and we will pull the recorded figures for the specific home you are considering.
