Are Property Taxes Deductible in Delaware?
Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Delaware adds its own break: Senior School Property Tax Credit: 50% of school property tax, up to $500, for homeowners 65+ on their primary residence.
People who moved to Delaware on or after Jan 1, 2018 must have lived there 10 straight years to get the senior credit.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
