2026 taxable assessment $185,000 × 1.3998%. Estimate—not a bill or account balance.
OPA also publishes a 2027 assessment of $194,500; it is not the 2026 billed-year value.

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:
Property tax
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.
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 8715354102026 taxable assessment equals the full assessed value.
Historical delinquency sources Record found
$4,274.73 was recorded for this parcel in Philadelphia's June 2022 delinquency snapshot for 2016–2021. That amount may have been paid, reduced, or increased since; it is not a current payoff figure.
$2,346.49 principal$978.95 interest$238.73 penalty$710.56 other charges
The snapshot’s 2022 context used $269,800 total assessment, $269,800 taxable, and $0 exempt/abated. Those historical fields can differ from today’s OPA exemption status.
A separate historical parcel ledger ending in 2016 records $602.05. It is shown as historical context only.
2016$602.05 total · $318.97 principal · $240.90 interest · $3.19 penalty

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
Built 1920: 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.
If you own it
$1,399/yr may be unclaimed
This home reads owner-occupied but shows no Homestead Exemption, which removes $100,000 from the taxable assessment (worth up to $1,399/yr). Applying through the City is free and takes minutes.
8 open violations: the clock matters
Most L&I appeals must be filed within 30 days; unsafe or imminently dangerous orders can carry a shorter deadline. Unresolved notices can lead to fees, court enforcement, City abatement work, and liens. Read the dated notice and verify its current status with L&I.
$602 in the historical tax ledger through 2016
Historical context only, not a current payoff figure. Verify today's balance and lien status directly with Philadelphia Revenue before relying on it.

Run the numbers
What owning 2848 S 17th St takes, at your price and your rate. Taxes start with an annual estimate from the City’s taxable assessment, not a current bill or balance; rent starts at the area median. Assessed value is not an asking price — set the price slider to the real one.
When this house last sold (1999) a 30-year mortgage ran about 7.44% — Freddie Mac's average that year.

Methodology & freshness
This report was assembled Jul 10, 2026, 11:19 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.
