New Castle County to Reassess Properties After Audit Finds Errors
What happened
New Castle County plans to reassess properties in northern Delaware sooner than originally scheduled. This decision followed a property audit completed by Cushman & Wakefield, which examined 50 commercial properties in the county. The audit found various discrepancies, including misstated building sizes, inaccurate property classifications, and erroneous room counts for certain buildings.

Why it matters
The errors were attributed to decades of property records being maintained without a reassessment. The county's chief finance officer noted that the issues were compounded by a low response rate to surveys that could have provided necessary building details.
