The 1.55% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Middletown and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Delaware average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Middletown buyers. Many Middletown properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $200/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
