Delaware House Small Business Caucus
Calling All Small Food Business Owners: We Want Your Feedback!
The Small Restaurant Regulatory Task Force, a bipartisan committee established by the 153rd General Assembly through House Joint Resolution 1 (as amended by House Amendment 1), and co-chaired by Sen. Russ Huxtable and Rep. Jeff Spiegelman, is gathering input from:
Small restaurant owners
Food truck operators
Childcare facilities with small kitchens
Entrepreneurs exploring or planning to open one of these businesses
If you’ve faced challenges or concerns while interacting with State or Local Agencies—whether during startup, permitting, inspections, or day-to-day operations—we want to hear from you.
Please share your experience by completing this survey no later than October 1st.
Your insights will help shape smarter, more responsive policies for Delaware’s food service community.
DEADLINE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30
New Castle County revised tax bills reflecting the new school tax rates are expected to be in the mail the first week of October. All parcels will be sent a revised bill including mortgaged parcels. A flyer will be inserted with each bill explaining the process. Revised bills will also be available for viewing on PARCEL SEARCH.
The revised due date for New Castle County and school district taxes is November 30, 2025.
If you already paid your county and school tax bill, the amount you paid will be credited against the new supplemental bill. If you then have a credit, the amount will be posted to your account against next year's taxes. You may request a refund if the credit balance is $50 or more. Refunds will be provided to the entity or individual who paid the tax bill. Instructions for refunds will be provided after the supplemental bills are calculated.
