Freeze 2025 Property Taxes Reassessment in Delaware

Genevieve Hahn and 9 others have signed recently.

The Issue

The cost of living in such a small state like Delaware has grown exorbitantly, and it's now beyond the means of the average Delawarean. Too many politicians continue to dip their hands into an already shallow cup, and this needs to stop once and for all.

Freezing the 2025 property taxes reassessment is a crucial step towards granting financial relief to homeowners who have been burdened by incessant tax increases. Property taxes in Delaware, traditionally considered a tax haven, have been unfavorably on the rise, compounding the financial strain on the residents, especially those with fixed or low incomes. According to a recent report from the Tax Foundation, Delaware ranks sixth in the country for the most property tax as a percentage of fair market value, a concerning statistic for a state that many assume to be financially lenient.

With inflation and economic challenges at an all-time high, it's imperative that Governor Matt Meyer, the County Council, and the Delaware General Assembly take actionable steps to protect Delawareans from further financial harm. Freezing property tax reassessment at this critical juncture would not only offer immediate relief but also provide an opportunity to reevaluate and possibly reform tax policies to ensure equitable taxation.

By signing this petition, you are urging your elected officials to put a halt to the property tax reassessment for the year 2025, giving breathing room for a comprehensive review of the state's taxation system and its impact on its citizens. Your support is vital to sending a strong message to our leaders that we will not stand idly by while being economically constrained. Please sign this petition and stand up for fiscal justice in Delaware.
