Delaware HB247 mandates that New Castle County offer a payment plan for county property and school taxes assessed to residential properties for the 2025-2026 tax year. This plan considers the difference in taxes owed between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 tax years. The county must allow taxpayers at least 30 days to enter into the payment plan.
