Exemption filing

The county page states Delaware residency for the prior five years, one-year primary-residence occupancy, income limits of $18,000 single or $24,750 married (excluding specified Social Security/Railroad benefits), and annual reapplication for the county exemption; a separate State Senior School Property Tax Credit is administered through the county.
