Well then this is a great deal for you if you are Resident of Delaware. I friend of mine that works for the state found this little tax nugget.
It was supposed to be until 9/01/08 I am not sure if it got extended or not. Find out for yourself. Better late than never.
Save yourself $500. next year, your elected politicians aren’t telling you about this. Why the Secret?
Do you know that All 3 counties in Delaware have a tax credit up to $500 that is available to senior citizens regardlesss of your total income.
You must be 65 before 7/1/09.
You must be the owner of the property.
The property must be your principal place of residence.
You must file the application before 9/1/08.
If approved, this credit could provide a 50% reduction in your School tax up to a maximum of $500.
For futher information and get the application, contact the NCC Assessment Division at 302 395 5520 or go to the New Castle County Land Use Web site.
