Later property tax deadline in New Castle County

The law requires New Castle County to update 2025-2026 property tax bills with new local school tax rates and send corrected bills. For those adjusted bills, the payment due date is December 31, 2025. This applies only in New Castle County and only to bills that are supplemented or adjusted under this law. It gives you more time to review and pay after delayed billing.
