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 $2,102/yr reflects a 10-year abatement. It jumps to about $10,510/yr in 2031 — $8,408/yr more. Price the full bill, not the current one.

If you own it

When the abatement ends, file for Homestead

An abated home cannot also take the Homestead Exemption. From 2031 it can — knocking about $1,400/yr off the full bill.

$9,297 in back taxes on record

Interest and penalties keep compounding until a Revenue payment agreement is in place, and a lien is already filed — an owner-occupant agreement also stops the sheriff-sale track.

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 $2,102/yr under a 10-year tax abatement. In 2031 the bill reaches its full ~$10,510/yr — a step up of $8,408/yr, 4 assessment years out. Drag the slider.

now: ($750,800 assessed − $600,636 abated) × 1.3998% ≈ $2,102/yr 2031: $750,800 assessed × 1.3998% ≈ $10,510/yr Flat 100% exemption (pre-2022 program, started 2021), 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.
