Summary

This Act updates the Delaware Code section that requires municipalities in New Castle County to submit permit data to the County government. The Act clarifies that such information should be submitted monthly in a manner prescribed by the County and that only closed permits where a certificate of occupancy has issued should be reported. If a municipality fails to timely report permit data it must submit a report to the County and the General Assembly detailing the reason for the omission, what steps are being taken to address the problem, and when the information will be submitted. This permit data is necessary for the County to ensure the accuracy of property assessments.
