Update on the Sussex County Property Reassessments for South Bethany
Here is the latest update on the Sussex County countywide reassessment!
Over 90,000 parcels have been visited by assessment data collectors. This represents 47 percent of the overall parcel count. Due to Tyler Technologies staffing issues, the data collection is not currently on track to meet the projected deadline for data collection completion by July 1, 2023. The County is looking into extending the entire project timeline a year, which would change the first billing to be impacted by the new assessments to the fall of 2025.
Data mailers of properties that have been visited will start being mailed by late Spring of 2023. Data collectors are focusing on completing property visits in the Bethany area through April while also beginning to collect data in Seaford and the surrounding areas of the western side of Sussex County within the upcoming week.
For additional information, and a current map of Tyler Technologies’ data collection areas, please visit the reassessment project website: https://empower.tylertech.com/Sussex-County-Delaware.html
If you have any questions, please feel free to call Tyler Technologies’ project office at 302-854-5274.
