No sales tax, anywhere, on anything
Delaware levies a real, flat 0% sales tax at every level of government -- a genuine, ongoing cost advantage for Frankford residents (base record).
A genuinely low property tax bill, despite a disclosed rate tension
Ownwell's own Frankford-specific data cites a genuinely low $861 median annual tax bill, corroborating a low real-world tax burden despite a nominally higher-looking cited rate this record does not adopt for its schema-required field (base record).
Insurance may run above the cheap statewide average
Delaware's statewide homeowners-insurance average runs genuinely cheap (~$1,150-$1,669/year), though Frankford's coastal proximity may push premiums higher for some properties (base record).
