Fenwick & Delaware Border · Ocean City, Maryland

Is Delaware shopping tax-free near Ocean City?

Answer

Delaware does not charge a general sales tax on many retail purchases, which draws some Ocean City visitors north for outlet and beach-retail runs. Product exceptions and dining taxes can still apply—check receipts. Factor Coastal Highway time into the “savings.”
