NCC REASSESSMENT DEADLINE EXTENDED! Submit your appeal by 4PM on MARCH 31st

 

If you believe your new property assessment does not reflect the fair market value of your property and/or you are not satisfied with the informal appeal decision from Tyler Technologies, the only option currently is the formal appeal process under New Castle County. Applications for this formal assessment appeal process began on 2/15 with an extended deadline of MARCH 31st  Even if you did not participate in an informal appeal with Tyler, you can still apply for a formal appeal. The Board of Assessment will also be suspending the rule requiring an appraiser to be present at the appeal hearing. Also, appellants will have the option to submit appraisals at a later date instead of attaching them to the formal appeal application. Deadline to submit appraisal reports will be June 16th.  If you miss the March deadline, you can appeal next year, however, the new assessed tax will need to be paid on this year's property tax bill. If you successfully appeal next year, any taxes you've already paid will not be refundable. Mail completed forms to: New Castle County Assessment Division 87 Reads Way New Castle, DE 19720 Forms may also be emailed as attachments to: BOARAppeals@newcastlede.gov

Who can you contact about rising DPL utility cost ?

 

 

 

 

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
