Friends and neighbors,


Rising utility costs are quickly becoming a financial hardship for many Delawareans. Last week, my colleagues on the Senate Environment, Energy, and Transportation Committee held a hearing to provide customers with an opportunity to voice their concerns and hear directly from Delmarva Power representatives. Please know that we will introduce pieces of legislation aimed at protecting consumers in the coming weeks. 


We continue to be in contact with Delaware’s Public Advocate and Public Service Commission, the state bodies that regulate utilities. 


Delmarva Power has shared that they have streamlined their process to restore service to disconnected customers in addition to taking the following steps to further assist: 

  • No late payment fees for January and February 2025 and providing longer periods for repayment, up to 24 months
  • Suspending disconnections for nonpayment in February 2025
  • Waiving deposits for disconnected customers who are seeking to restore service

 

In the meantime, anyone with concerns or questions about their utility bills can contact the resources listed below.

 

 

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments, community concerns, or just to say hi. I can be reached by email at spiros.mantzavinos@delaware.gov, on Facebook, or by calling my Senate office at (302) 744-4133.


Sincerely,

Spiros Mantzavinos
Senator, District 7

Tax Exemptions

Partial tax exemptions are available for some taxpayers. Those who are disabled or over 65 may be eligible, depending upon income levels. Exemptions for non-profit organizations and for agricultural property are also available, provided conditions are met. The exemption application provides more complete information on eligibility requirements.

If you have questions about whether you are eligible for a charitable, religious, or educational property tax exemption, this short survey will help you understand whether you meet the criteria. Please note that this survey is for educational purposes only and that results do not guarantee an exemption. You must complete and send an application in order to receive an official determination of whether you are entitled to a tax exemption.
