🚨 ADMITTANCE AND PROOF THAT TYLER WAS FLAWED FROM THE BEGINNING
In the County’s own ruling, the referee admitted that New Castle County’s comparable sales were “more than 3 years old” and “not located in a relatively close proximity” to the property being assessed.
That means Tyler Technologies used outdated and geographically inaccurate data to justify raising property values…. data so bad the County’s own board called it “substantial overvaluation.”
Let that sink in.
📊 My friend and multiple property owner Evan Richman, has now appealed 9 properties in Wilmington and won all 9.
Across those nine parcels, the County was forced to reduce a total of $584,800 in assessed value.
Here are just a few examples straight from the County’s own signed stipulations:
➡️ 11 W 23rd Street: dropped from $216,600 → $140,000 (-$76,600)
➡️ 113 W 23rd Street: dropped from $229,900 → $140,000 (-$89,900)
➡️ 7 W 24th Street: dropped from $213,400 → $175,000 (-$38,400)
All three were confirmed by official County documents, signed by Finance Manager Denzil Hardman and County Attorney William Martin.
And these are just three of nine wins. Each one proven through the County’s own paperwork.
This isn’t rumor this is institutional proof that the reassessment was flawed from the start.
Outdated sales. Non comparable properties. Inflated values across the board.
I’ll say it clearly:
I BELIEVE this proves they did whatever they needed to do to raise the taxes.
How many Delaware families never knew to appeal?
How many are still paying inflated taxes based on a model that the County’s own referees have already discredited?
How many are JUST now finding out bc they had a mortgage in Escrow?
And how many will only be getting notice when their rent goes up drastically bc of overevaluated rentals?
Delaware deserves answers and a full audit of this broken reassessment process AND IM CALLING ON the lawmakers to do something for their constituents for once instead of worrying about our money they’ve stolen and already spent in school districts. 🇺🇸
