City of Dover

Delaware’s Capital, founded in 1683, Dover reflects the values of a rich historic and culturally diverse small town with the public services and quality of life usually found in much larger locations. A great place to live, work and play, halfway between New York and Washington, and within a few hours of one third of the nation’s population, Dover offers: low property taxes; tax abatement and permit incentives to qualifying businesses; and a state designation as a Downtown Development District. World class health care, four institutions of higher education, great public schools, reliable public utilities, and, of course, tax free shopping make Dover even more appealing.
