About the Amenities

The preserve: the Fourth Street Preserve is being restored as a city forest with walking trails. As of August 2026 the city expects it to open in spring 2027.

Inside the community: residential streets and several courts, with no common buildings. Ask us about any common ground behind a specific home.

Why Being Inside the City of Lewes Matters Here

Most newer communities with a Lewes address sit outside the city. Pilottown Village is inside it, and that changes who provides what and what you pay.
City services: the City of Lewes collects trash, recycling and yard waste, and maintains the city streets.
Utilities: the Lewes Board of Public Works provides water, sewer and electric service to homes in the city.
City tax: homes pay a City of Lewes property tax on top of the county and school tax.
A small HOA fee: with no clubhouse or pool, the association fee is a fraction of what newer Lewes communities charge.
We will confirm the city, county and school figures for any home you are considering before you commit.

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, with Sussex County and with the City of Lewes 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: Pilottown Village is inside the City of Lewes, so the tax bill has three parts: county, school and city. 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.
