How Delaware Democrats plan to tackle tax bills, reassessment reform at special session

Whatever happens in Dover on Aug. 12 could decide how much Delaware property owners end up paying in taxes this year.

Delaware Democrats seem to have a plan, at least according to the numerous lawmakers who presented their ideas at a press conference in Wilmington on the morning of Aug. 8. There were representatives for the state House and members of the Christina school board, Wilmington City Council and New Castle County Council present at the meeting to demonstrate intergovernmental collaboration.

The whole reassessment process has been a reactive one. Borne from a lawsuit in Chancery Court settled in 2021, there hasn’t been a statewide process in decades. And yet, Delaware lawmakers remain on their heels.

The reassessments were largely managed at the county level, with little state oversight. State lawmakers say concerns didn’t reach their level until people saw their bills, and the data was finalized this spring. Democratic Rep. Frank Burns, who was elected in 2024 and represents Pike Creek, called it a “complete surprise.”

“No one had reached out to me until people started getting tax bills,” he said.

The special session is intended to focus on Band-Aid, short-term solutions for this year, while teeing up long-term fixes for the next legislative session to come in January 2026.
