AI Summary

  • Increases the tax rate ceiling for New Castle County Vocational Technical School District incrementally from 15 cents per $100 of property value (2015-2016) to 20 cents per $100 (2021 and thereafter).

  • Previous ceiling of 14 cents per $100 had been in place since 1983, unchanged for 34 years before this bill.

  • New tax rate ceiling sunsets and reverts to 14 cents per $100 when New Castle County conducts a general reassessment of all real estate in the county.

  • The Board of Education retains discretion to determine actual tax rates within the new ceilings; this bill only raises the maximum allowable rate.

  • Requires the District Superintendent to notify the Registrar of Regulations when the general reassessment occurs to trigger the sunset provision.
