Sussex County Reassessment

Reassessment Project

Sussex County began a court-ordered reassessment of residential, agricultural and commercial properties in 2021. The reassessment was ordered in 2020 to address the issue that the County assessments were not representative of the “true value of money.”

The reassessment process was conducted by Tyler Technologies, nationally recognized experts. New assessment values were set at what was projected to be the fair market value of the property (i.e. the amount the property could be sold for) as of July 1, 2023.
