2026 taxable assessment $175,800 × 1.3998%. Estimate—not a bill or account balance.
OPA also publishes a 2027 assessment of $119,200; 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 1210475002026 taxable assessment equals the full assessed value.
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 stands out
From the public recordPermit between transfers
Record summary$14K transfer in 1996; electrical permit in 2009; $43K transfer in 2025 (+201% between recorded amounts).
View supporting records →Marked vacant, but it just sold
Record summaryThe assessor's condition code says vacant, yet a $42,500 sale was recorded in 2025. One side of the record is stale — condition codes come from drive-by field visits that can lag years behind.
View supporting records →"Built 1900" is usually a placeholder
Record summaryPhiladelphia records use 1900 as a stand-in when the real construction year was never documented. Treat the age as unknown, not as 120+ years.
View supporting records →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
Built 1900: 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.
Multiple units and RSA5 zoning need reconciliation
The assessment or license record describes multiple units while the zoning district is generally single-family. That does not establish whether the use is lawful, nonconforming, abandoned, or incorrectly coded. Verify the registered use and Certificate of Occupancy with L&I before pricing multiple rents.
If you own it
9 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.
If you’re the landlord
If it is rented, verify the Rental License
The fetched license records do not show an active Rental License. Ownership type or a tax mailing address does not prove that tenants occupy the property; if it is rented, verify the current license and legal occupancy in eCLIPSE.

What this record suggests
The City file documents 1 permit touching electrical work. 1 carries a completed, issued, or approved status; that documents the filing, not the present quality of the work.
Flags: 9 open L&I violations. Informational only — not investment advice or a consumer report (FCRA).

Where the record looks off
Places where the city's own paperwork disagrees with itself. These are flags on the data — not problems with the property.
Marked vacant, but it just sold
The assessor's condition code says vacant, yet a $42,500 sale was recorded in 2025. One side of the record is stale — condition codes come from drive-by field visits that can lag years behind.
"Built 1900" is usually a placeholder
Philadelphia records use 1900 as a stand-in when the real construction year was never documented. Treat the age as unknown, not as 120+ years.
Assessment and sale price disagree hard
Assessed at $119K, but it traded for $42,500 in 2025 — a 2.8× gap. Could be a non-market deed the record doesn't label, or an assessment that hasn't caught up.
Run the numbers
What owning 32 E Wister 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 (2025) a 30-year mortgage ran about 6.6% — Freddie Mac's average that year.

Methodology & freshness
This report was assembled Jul 11, 2026, 3:53 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.
