Milford spans Kent and Sussex along the Mispillion River, with an older downtown, growing neighborhoods, and Bayhealth's Sussex Campus (opened 2019) as a major anchor. We buy houses in any condition.
Milford requires annual rental registration ($50 per unit) and inspects rentals on a four-year rotation by ward (Ward 3 in 2026) under the 2015 International Property Maintenance Code, with fines up to $1,000 a day. Landlords facing inspection repairs can sell to us as-is.
Milford levies a 1.5% local transfer tax on top of the state's 2.5% (4% total). The city waives its share when every buyer is a first-time homebuyer.
The city rate is $0.60 per $100 of assessed value for FY2025–26 and $0.61 for FY2026–27. Late taxes accrue 1% per month.
Milford's historic core has older homes that may need significant updates. We price the repairs in so you don't have to do them.
No repairs, no commissions, no obligation. Pick your own closing date.
