This brief tutorial will show how to use Sussex County's new Real Estate Property Tax Information
portal, where users can search property tax information, as well as pay property taxes
online.
Upon reaching the new portal, users can easily search by either owner name or parcel ID.
Begin the search by typing the name and correct tax year as shown in the highlighted areas
on the screen. After entering the information, click the blue "Search" button.
The portal will now show a list of all parcels owned by the name entered in the search.
Next, find the appropriate property and click "View Bill".
The portal will now show the property's billing information for the tax year requested. If
this is not the correct property, use the web browser's back button and repeat the previous
steps.
Using the links on the left side of the page, users can view various details of any searched
property. The links include:
Charges, Exemptions and Credits shows all tax charges included on the property tax bill.
Property Detail shows all of the information the County has about the property.
Owner Information provides the name and address of the property's current owner(s).
Assessment is a breakdown of the assessed value of the property and any structures or
other improvements on the property.
Assessment History shows the assessed value of the property from 2007 to present. A visual
graph shows any increases or decreases in assessments over time.
Tax Rates provides the rates for the charges billed.
All Bills gives a listing of all tax bills dating back to 2007, including the current
year.
To make an online payment, return to the "View Bill" page.
Review the amount and click the blue "Add to Cart" button.
Once ready to check out, click the "My Cart" button at the top of the screen. Then click
"Checkout" on the small box that appears.
Select the desired payment method, either Credit Card or Check.
Review the payment information to ensure the amount is correct, then click "Continue".
Review the information and enter the required payment information into the appropriate boxes.
If an incorrect payment method is selected, click "Change Payment Method" to choose the
correct method of payment.
Upon completing the payment information, click "Continue" to finish the payment process.
After completing the online payment process, the user's payment will be listed as a "pending
payment" on the View Bill screen.
