AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 17 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ACQUISITION AND SALE OF REAL PROPERTY.
Signed by Governor
Summary
The bill changes Delaware Code § 137 so that any state‑owned land worth more than $25,000 must be appraised by a qualified independent appraiser before sale. It also lets the Department of Transportation sell or convey parcels deemed to have minimal utility and valued under $25,000 without an appraisal, after notifying neighboring owners. The goal is to speed up the disposal of small, low‑value properties while matching federal highway guidelines.
