Property Reassesment Program Complete
 
During the past year the City of Seaford has conducted a Property Assessment program. The purpose of this program is to establish new equalized fair market value estimates for all land and improvements located within the City limits. The last time this was done was in 1990. A review of the real estate sales within the City indicates that values have risen significantly since 1990. This Property Reassesment Program has been based upon a thorough analysis and review of the recent real estate market transactions in the area in an effort to establish your new valuation as closely as possible to current market conditions. The inidcated value of your property represents the estimated value as of January 1, 2008. You can access your property assesment via the link below. If you have any questions regarding this value estimate, or would like to make an appointment to discuss this new estimated Market Value, please contact Property Tax Associates/DelVal, INc. at 302-628-6006 or 800-539-4400. Informal appeal hearings will be held by APPOINTMENT ONLY from May 5th to May 16th, 2008 at City Hall located on 414 High Street.
