Question or correct this record

BlockReport can explain a discrepancy, but it cannot rewrite an official City record. Use the agency that owns the underlying fact:

The estimate, live balance, and back-tax record are different.

BlockReport can calculate the annual tax from the City’s taxable assessment. Payments, credits, interest, and a current amount due live separately in Philadelphia Tax Center.

Estimated annual Real Estate Tax$476/year

2026 taxable assessment $33,988 × 1.3998%. Estimate—not a bill or account balance.

OPA also publishes a 2027 assessment of $167,500; it is not the 2026 billed-year value.

Official current account balanceCheck live

A Tax Center balance is net of bills, payments, credits, interest, and adjustments. A credit—or an amount due—is not automatically “back taxes.”

OPA 513030900
Open Philadelphia Tax Center →Choose “View period balance” to see the tax year and any credit, interest, or delinquency.
Exemption classificationPartial assessment exemption — basis unverified

2026 OPA taxes $33,988 of $164,200 assessed. The assessment fields alone do not identify a program, approval date, expiration, or buyer eligibility.

See the assessment math →
Full-assessment scenario$2,298/year

Applying the same rate to the billed-year full assessment. OPA's numeric split does not say when or whether the current treatment changes.

Historical delinquency sources Record found

What stands out

From the public record

What to do with this

The record, translated into moves — what a buyer, the owner, and a landlord would each want to check next under Philadelphia's actual rules.

If you’re buying

Verify the current tax bill and exemption

The 2026 taxable assessment implies about $476/yr, while applying the same rate to the full assessment would imply about $2,298/yr — $1,822/yr more. OPA's assessment split does not establish the exemption program, expiration, or buyer eligibility. Verify the basis and live bill with OPA and Revenue.

Built 1925: lead rules apply

Federal law requires a lead-paint disclosure at sale for any pre-1978 home. If it will be rented, Philadelphia also requires a lead-safe or lead-free certificate before a rental license can issue.

Zoned RSA5: one household by right

Single-family rowhouse (the classic Philly row). Converting to a duplex or apartments needs a use variance the zoning board rarely grants — Pennsylvania courts require a physical hardship of the lot itself, and economics alone do not qualify.

If you own it

$36,486 in the historical tax ledger through 2016

Historical context only, not a current payoff figure; that ledger also contains a lien entry. Verify today's balance and lien status directly with Philadelphia Revenue before relying on it.

If you’re the landlord

Lead certificate is not optional

Built 1925: every rental unit needs a lead-safe or lead-free certificate on file with the City. Without one: fines up to $2,000/day per unit, tenants may withhold rent, courts can order rent refunded — and no eviction will stand.

Licensed rental — keep it that way

Renewal requires city tax clearance and zero open L&I violations on the property. A lapsed license suspends the right to collect rent or evict.

Derived from the fetched property records and linked City guidance as of 2026. Assessment treatment is not a substitute for an exemption approval, live balance, title report, license, occupancy certificate, or inspection. Informational only — not legal, tax, or investment advice.

What this record suggests

The City file documents 5 permits touching kitchen work, bathroom work, electrical work, plumbing. 5 carries a completed, issued, or approved status; that documents the filing, not the present quality of the work.

Flags: material assessment exemption — legal basis and term unverified · active rental license · historical tax ledger through 2016 recorded $36K with a lien entry. Informational only — not investment advice or a consumer report (FCRA).

The assessment exemption gap

OPA's 2026 taxable assessment implies about $476/year. Applying the same 1.3998% rate to the full assessed value would imply ~$2,298/year$1,822/year more. That is a scenario, not a forecast: the assessment split alone does not identify the exemption program, approval date, expiration, transfer treatment, or live Tax Center balance.

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 10, 2026, 11:26 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. For this property: Permits: queried · Violations: queried · Investigations: queried · Appeals: queried · Licenses: queried · Building certifications: queried. “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.
