The FREE Library is OPEN!

Since Ben Franklin founded the first Lending Library in Philadelphia, 
there have been few better ideas until now.

No library card is required.
Just take a book and replace it with another.
What better way to circulate your favorites to your neighbors.

Stroll by the Pool House to visit the Deep Harbour Free Library.

Founder and Head Librarian, Lynn S., celebrates the grand opening. (Ben Franklin was not available.)

What do the owners at 900 Marshy Cove pay in taxes?

For your information:

Data for this analysis was obtained from public records from The Dorchester County Web site.

In 2017, an analysis revealed a tax increase from 2017 to 2019 averaging $66 per year per unit.
In 2014, the analysis revealed a tax increase from 2014 to 2019 averaging $276 per year per unit.

Taxes are based on real property values and updated every three years. Your taxes go up as property values rise.  Original owners have seen 50% swings in taxes since 2007, mostly favorable.

Collectively, the building owners pay $138,635 in real estate taxes per annum.
The difference between the highest and lowest rate is $620 per year.
Creekside Eastons are the highest. Cedar Street Baysides, Arundels, and Chesapeakes are lowest.
Dorchesters are all taxed at the same rate.
In summary, water-facing units are assessed at a higher rate.
You will see some anomalies with the Baysides and Arundels.



Overall, the Deep Harbour community contributes approximately $450,000 to the County's and City's tax revenue.
