Closing Date Prorations in Delaware

In Delaware, closing date prorations for real estate taxes are governed by Del. Code Title 9, which establishes the method for allocating tax responsibility between buyer and seller. The state’s official revenue source provides the precise rule and any applicable factors, but the calculation itself is handled by the proration calculator. A verified figure of 0% appears in the pinned facts, and the worked example below demonstrates the computation using that figure. Because the statute sets out specific conditions and exceptions, the exact result for any transaction depends on the closing date and the property’s assessed value. To estimate your own proration, use the DocketMath calculator with the official source as a reference.
