    Property owners don't get to vote on it, only residents. (another screwy thing in LSD)

    This was a court case. To change senior voting would need to be legislated, which would probably be challenged in court as well.

    Delaware property assessments violate state law, but no remedy in sight

    Sussex County assessments

    Sussex County officials have declined to comment about property reassessment throughout the court proceedings. According to the decision, the Sussex County Department of Finance is responsible for determining the value of taxable property in Sussex County, preparing the county’s assessment rolls, sending tax bills, and collecting property taxes. The director of finance is responsible for ensuring that Sussex County’s tax assessments comply with Delaware law, and that a yearly tax assessment roll is presented to the Sussex County Board of Assessment Review. The board certifies the assessment roll is correct, and the department then certifies total property value in the county which is subject to taxation.

    According to the decision, Sussex County officials recognize that the values of nearly all taxable properties in Sussex County have changed since 1974, and they understand that property values in different areas have changed at different rates, as have properties with different uses.

    “Sussex County officials agree that in some parts of Sussex County, fair market values have increased greatly, while in other parts, fair market values stagnated,” Laster wrote. “Everyone agrees that a general reassessment would increase the total assessed value.” However, the decision states, Sussex County has no plans to update its assessments, and it intends to continue assessing properties using values from 1974.
