2024 DE Governor's race: on Tax Reform


Matt Meyer: Cut property tax but not enough to cut government services

New Castle County's 2024 budget includes the first property tax reduction in 50 years. Meyer said the county chose 5% to strike a good balance. "We want to give a homeowner something substantive but we continue to have an outlook that preserves our ability to address crises, to provide quality services," Meyer said. "So you don't want to give so much back that you deplete your reserves and you have no money to do basic government services."

Mike Ramone: Working on a means test for senior property tax credits

Ramone is currently working on a bill that would means test for senior property tax credits based on the property of a home. Although still in the works, Ramone provided an example to explain what his bill is intended to do: "If your home is worth zero to $500,000, you would get a $1,000 tax credit," he said. "If your home is worth $500,000 to $1 million, you'd get a $500 tax credit and anyone's homes that are worth $1 million or more wouldn't get any tax credit."
