Summary
The act lets school districts in New Castle County continue using different tax rates for homes and businesses, but the business rate must be at least equal to and no more than 1.85 times the residential rate. It also changes the required delinquency surcharge from a fixed 10% to a flexible “up to 10%” and removes outdated references to the former Wilmington school district. The changes affect how districts set and collect school taxes and when they must hold voter referendums.
