Show Notes
New Castle County leaders in Delaware propose a significant property tax increase to address a substantial deficit, citing rising costs and the end of federal COVID relief funds. Despite internal cuts, overall spending rises, with public safety remaining the top priority. The county plans to fill fewer back-office positions, pause special events, and cut open space funding. Residents in unincorporated areas may see their median annual county tax bill rise by up to $138, with public safety receiving the majority of the budget. County Council begins budget hearings in April, with approval expected by Memorial Day.
