House Bill 298


From the 151st General Assembly, this Act authorizes a reduction in the realty transfer tax for senior Delaware residents who have resided in Delaware for at least 10 consecutive years prior to entering into a transaction to sell their primary Delaware residence. This reduction only applies to an amount equal to 1/2 percent multiplied by the lesser of the value of the property, or $400,000. This reduction is modeled after the first-time home buyer reduction previously authorized for purchasers.
