How to find a parcel’s or home’s valuation and 2023 taxes due this year in 2024?

The Delaware County Auditor assesses the amount of real estate taxes due and the re-evaluation process every three years. During 2023, real estate throughout Delaware County was re-valued. (click here)

– Go to the Delaware County Auditor’s site to search by owner name, address, or the parcel number in question.

– Open the related property record page and click on the “Tax” tab

– On the Tax Tab you will see the amount due, the current valuation (land + improvements), and where your tax bill is sent; if you have a mortgage the mortgage company will designate the tax billing address where it will be calculated into your monthly mortgage payment, generally.
