AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO SCHOOL TAX.
Signed
Summary
The bill requires each New Castle County school board to submit its tax warrant and assessment list by Oct. 22, 2026 for the 2026‑27 school tax year. It permits districts to adjust the tax rate to reflect the latest property assessments, but bars any increase in projected operating revenue except for voter‑approved referenda and a growth amount equal to the district’s five‑year average property‑value increase. If a district faces a funding shortfall because of these limits, it can request a state advance from Division I funds.
