About Delmar
Delmar sits right on the Delaware-Maryland border in southern Sussex County, earning the local nickname "The Little Town Too Big for One State." Around 2,000 residents live on the Delaware side, and the community blends seamlessly with its Maryland twin. Neighbors share the same downtown grid, local events, and easygoing atmosphere, while Delaware residents enjoy financial perks like zero state sales tax and low property taxes.
Day-to-day living here comes with a few unique quirks because the state boundary runs right down the middle of town. The school system is bi-state, meaning younger kids go to elementary school on the Maryland side before crossing over to Delaware for middle and high school. With Salisbury, Maryland just a short drive south for major shopping, dining, and healthcare, Delmar offers a quiet, affordable home base with everyday conveniences close at hand.
