Philadelphia property report

1200 block of N Myrtlewood St

A mixed-record block: 54% have an owner-occupancy signal and 29% are entity-held, with 11 open code violations and 6 parcels listed in the June 2022 tax-delinquency snapshot ($24,725 recorded then).

The median home assessment is up 531% from 2016 through the 2027 billed-year roll, ending near $239K. The median assessment-based tax estimate changed about 10% a year over its recorded billed-year series though the increases have eased lately.

The makeup of the block

Every home, plotted by size and assessed value — press play and watch the block reprice from 2016 to 2027. One bubble per house (area = lot size), colored by who owns it; a gold ring marks a material assessment exemption whose legal basis is not established by the roll. Click a bubble for its report.

Property addresses identify the parcels represented by each grouped owner row. Individual names and mailing addresses stay hidden. For organizations, the mailing address is where the assessor sends the tax bill; "Registry" searches the recorded owner name in state incorporation records.

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 9, 2026, 10:52 PM ET. Available City datasets are queried from OpenDataPhilly (phl.carto.com) and the cited City ArcGIS feeds; record queries paginate rather than silently taking a first page. “Unavailable” means the source query failed or was not supplied, not “no record.” Reports re-pull on view after seven days and on an overnight rolling schedule; citywide benchmarks recompute weekly. Source dates still govern: the parcel-level tax-delinquency snapshot is June 2022 and the separate detailed tax ledger ends in 2016, so neither establishes today’s balance. The live balance and date-effective payoff must be verified in Tax Center. AI-written passages are grounded in the assembled record and rejected if they state a number the record does not hold.
