Why the Condominium Setup Matters Here

Listings record the homes in Windmill Woods, detached homes included, as condominium units rather than as houses on separate lots, and that shapes what you own and what you pay.
What you own: you own the home, while the land around it is generally held in common and kept by the association. The condominium documents spell out exactly where your part ends.
What the association handles: listings say the fee covers the outside of the homes, the roofs, the lawns, the roads, snow removal and trash.
Your insurance: the association carries a policy on the buildings, and the owner insures the inside of the home. Your agent and insurer should read the master policy.
We will get the resale certificate before you commit, so you see every fee and rule up front.

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: listing records place Windmill Woods outside the Town of Ocean View limits, in unincorporated Sussex County, 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 on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
Call 302-549-5164 and we will pull the recorded figures for the specific home you are considering.
