County government has consistently held steady a tax rate of 44.5 cents per $100 of assessed property value, one of the lowest real estate taxes in the country. But there are other advantages to finding a home here: no sales tax, no inheritance tax (generally speaking) and no Social Security tax.

Of course, these facts are no secret as Sussex County has seen an influx of people who are looking for more affordable housing from places such as Washington, Baltimore, and New York. The choices in the residential real estate market are amazing with prices very affordable.

From the coastal neighborhoods of eastern Sussex to the rural communities of western Sussex - and everything in between - buyers can find any type of home that they're looking for.
