Tax sales in Delaware
Channel
Tax deed via county Sheriff monition sales (Kent + Sussex active; New Castle rare)
Platform
County-run (sheriff/county sites)
Sale schedule
Periodic by county (no fixed statewide calendar)
Redemption basics
Short - approx. 60 days after court confirmation in most cases (verify by county; sources conflict 60 days-6 months)
Redemption periods and sale dates are state-level basics — counties deviate. Confirm against the county's own sale notice for the current cycle.
Wholesaling in Delaware is restricted — read this first
Wholesaler-licensing law signed Jun 1, 2026 (Title 24): residential wholesaling will require a license; 270-day transition ends Feb 26, 2027. Disclose equitable interest + assignment fee.
