Delaware House Bill 283 is now law!!

July 29, 2026

Delaware has enacted House Bill 283, bringing two important updates to the state's Realty Transfer Tax law: Expanded Family Exemption: The realty transfer tax exemption now includes conveyances between grandparents and grandchildren, including a grandchild's spouse. Modernized Spousal Language: The law now replaces outdated references to "husband and wife" with the term "spouses," ensuring the exemption applies equally to all married couples.
