How This Calculator Works
Delaware's average effective property tax rate is 0.53% of a home's value each year, 21st of 51, near the middle. On the state's typical home, worth about $385,000, that comes to roughly $2,041 a year, or $170 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Delaware's bill on a typical home is 39th of 51, in the bottom third. On a $350,000 home it would be about $1,855.
None of Delaware's neighbors has a lower average rate; the table below compares them.
