Middlesex Beach Association – Where fun never ends

Sussex County Property Reassessment

This information is taken from the South Bethany website but is, of course, of interest to all of us. Sussex County has started its property reassessments, per the court order issued in 2020. The reassessments are occurring throughout the State. The reassessing will be done by data collectors from Tyler Technologies, who you may have already seen in the community. The new assessed values will not take effect until July 2024, but if you notice the Tyler Technologies data collectors visiting properties, don’t be alarmed as they will be attempting to make contact with the owner/occupant to take exterior measurements and photographs, as needed; they will not enter inside dwellings unless invited in. As part of the court-ordered reassessment, they began making their way through Sussex County in Oct 2021, to visit the more than 180,000 parcels on record, measuring improvements on each property and collecting data. The purpose is to get as much information about a given property so their teams can accurately compute every parcel’s value. The process should last through Late 2023.

Tyler data collectors can be identified by their bright yellow Tyler work vests, and county issued photo ID badge. Property owners can expect that data collectors will be knocking on doors, interviewing occupants to ask a series of questions pertaining to the dwelling or buildings on the property, and will also request access to the property to measure the exterior of each building. If no one is home, data collectors will proceed to collect data on all accessible properties, including taking a photo of all major buildings.

For more information, including Tyler Technologies’ data collector page – where photos of their employees may be used to confirm the identity of their field crew – please visit the reassessment webpage: https://empower.tylertech.com/Sussex-County-Delaware.html.
