In order to calculate the Seaford School Tax, you will need the Assessment Value information from Sussex County.  Assessment Value is NOT the same as market or property value.  The Assessment Value for Sussex County is reflective of 1974 replacement cost values.  For questions about assessment values, call the Sussex County Office of Assessment at (302)-855-7824.

 

Tax rates are estimates based on several factors including interest rates, bonds with twenty year maturity, assessed value of district and assessment to sales ration.  Any or all of these estimates could change resulting in alterations to the tax rate. Cost figures are rounded to two decimal places during calculation.
