Supreme Court of Delaware

Shahin v. City of Dover Board of Assessment Appeals

September 27, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment upholding the Board of Assessment Appeals’ denial of the Shahins’ challenge to their property assessment. The Shahins failed to present evidence of substantial overvaluation or show that the Board acted contrary to law, fraudulently, arbitrarily, or capriciously; the court also rejected challenges based on an immaterial square-footage error and an untimely motion for reargument.
