The Delaware County Commissioners today voted to renew the 0.5-mill property-tax rollback they originally enacted three years ago. This fourth one-year renewal, based on current property valuations, would provide nearly $6.9 million in tax relief to Delaware County property owners during the upcoming tax year.
“We are very proud to continue our strong record of reducing property taxes for our Delaware County residents,” said Commissioner Barb Lewis, president of this year’s Board of Commissioners. “This will be the fourth year we are able to enact a rollback and, over these four tax years, the total relief provided is nearly $25 million.”
The original rollback enacted by the Commissioners in 2022 provided $4.8 million in tax relief, while it totaled $6.5 million in 2023 as well as $6.7 million in 2024. The estimated value of the 2025 rollback will provide $6,884,362 in tax relief.
“In these times of intense focus on property taxes, I am glad to support another significant rollback of the County’s property taxes to benefit property owners here,” Commissioner Jeff Benton said. “Thanks to our excellent stewardship of taxpayer funds, we are able to provide this much needed property tax relief for the fourth year in a row.”
Commissioner Gary Merrell added, “This property rollback is something we are very proud to have provided to Delaware County taxpayers for the last four years. This is made possible by living in a growing County where taxpayers and elected officials are working together for mutual benefit of all.”
