The Road Easement to Know About
When the county first approved the plan, it required the streets to be paved to the property line so Lilyvale could connect to Milo’s Haven next door.
Why it changed: the applicant asked the county to reconsider. The minutes record that the Milo’s Haven street stops about 23 feet short of the property line, with a ditch and wetlands along the boundary, and that Milo’s Haven has no road easement to finish it.
What was approved: a permanent easement on the Lilyvale site plan for a future connection to be built by others, with a Letter of No Objection from the Sussex County Engineering Department.
So a future road link is drawn into the plan even though no one is building it now. Ask us what that means for a specific lot.

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: Lilyvale is outside any town limits, so the property tax bill is county and school tax with no town tax on top. Sussex County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures may not reflect what you will pay.
New homes: a new home is assessed once it is finished, so the first tax bill may cover only the land.
Call 302-549-5164 and we will pull the recorded figures once homes are on the tax rolls.
