Delaware's standard purchase process applies

Selbyville purchase contracts typically include inspection, financing, and appraisal contingencies, as elsewhere in Delaware.

A genuinely favorable county tax rate

Sussex County's own cited effective property tax rate (~0.33%) is Delaware's lowest county rate.

Confirm for any town-level add-on

This record flags a real, disclosed caution: this dispatch's own Bethany Beach record found a town-specific rate far above its county average -- confirm Selbyville's own specific rate directly rather than assuming the county figure automatically applies.
