The 1.9% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Wilmington 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 Wilmington buyers. Many Wilmington properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $100/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
