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$1,792/year

2026 taxable assessment $128,020 × 1.3998%. Estimate—not a bill or account balance.

OPA also publishes a 2027 assessment of $640,100; 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 302110700

Exemption classificationPartial assessment exemption — basis unverified

2026 OPA taxes $128,020 of $640,100 assessed. The assessment fields alone do not identify a program, approval date, expiration, or buyer eligibility.

See the assessment math →
Full-assessment scenario$8,960/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.

See the assessment math →
Historical delinquency sources No current conclusion

This parcel did not match the June 2022 delinquency snapshot. That absence does not confirm the account is current today.

For a purchase, refinance, or closing, request the City’s official Property Payoff statement in Tax Center under “More options.”

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 $1,792/yr, while applying the same rate to the full assessment would imply about $8,960/yr — $7,168/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.

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

Verify which assessment relief applies

OPA shows a material assessment exemption, but this record does not identify its legal basis or transfer treatment. Ask OPA for the approval history; if the current treatment ends, an eligible owner-occupant may need to apply separately for Homestead relief.

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 12 permits touching kitchen work, bathroom work, electrical work, plumbing. 12 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. Informational only — not investment advice or a consumer report (FCRA).

The assessment exemption gap

OPA's 2026 taxable assessment implies about $1,792/year. Applying the same 1.3998% rate to the full assessed value would imply ~$8,960/year$7,168/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.

2016: ~$2,241/yr2017: ~$2,241/yr2018: ~$2,395/yr2019: ~$2,669/yr2020: ~$2,800/yr2021: ~$2,800/yr2022: ~$2,800/yr2023: ~$1,623/yr2024: ~$1,623/yr2025: ~$1,792/yr2026: ~$1,792/yr20162026

2026: ($640,100 assessed − $512,082 exempt) × 1.3998% ≈ $1,792/yr full-assessment scenario: $640,100 × 1.3998% ≈ $8,960/yr The OPA amount does not prove a ten-year abatement or any other specific program. Obtain the approval history and verify the current Tax Center account; a buyer should not assume the seller's relief transfers or restarts.

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 10, 2026, 8:49 AM 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.
