Reading this house's deeds, permits and assessments…

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

The tax bill is temporary

Today's $2,073/yr reflects a 10-year abatement. It jumps to about $10,370/yr in 2032 — $8,297/yr more. Price the full bill, not the current one.

If you’re the landlord

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 this house's public records and the city's rules as of 2026 (abatement ordinance, Homestead, rental licensing, lead certification, L&I process, excavation protections). Informational only — not legal, tax, or investment advice.

The investment read

How this house has moved and where it's pointed: the city's assessed value (not a listing price) over 12 years, charted against its block; appreciation is that history's pace, and the 5-year figure simply extends it. Yield estimates rent-vs-price from area rents. Ask the analyst below to dig into any number.

The abatement clock

This house pays about $2,073/yr under a 10-year tax abatement. In 2032 the bill reaches its full ~$10,370/yr — a step up of $8,297/yr, 5 assessment years out. Drag the slider.

now: ($740,800 assessed − $592,707 abated) × 1.3998% ≈ $2,073/yr 2032: $740,800 assessed × 1.3998% ≈ $10,370/yr Flat 100% exemption (pre-2022 program, started 2022), then the cliff — reassessments move both lines. After expiry an owner-occupant can claim the Homestead Exemption (~$1,400/yr off); an abated home can't hold both.
