2026 taxable assessment $9,000 × 1.3998%. Estimate—not a bill or account balance.
OPA also publishes a 2027 assessment of $10,800; 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.”

Historical delinquency sources Record found
$326.43 was recorded for this parcel in Philadelphia's June 2022 delinquency snapshot for 2019–2021. That amount may have been paid, reduced, or increased since; it is not a current payoff figure.

The snapshot’s 2022 context used $4,800 total assessment, $4,800 taxable, and $0 exempt/abated. Those historical fields can differ from today’s OPA exemption status.

What stands out
From the public recordImproved
Why it mattersBought for $31K in 2023.
View supporting records →Assessment and sale price disagree hard
Why it mattersAssessed at $11K, but it traded for $30,500 in 2023 — a 2.8× gap. Could be a non-market deed the record doesn't label, or an assessment that hasn't caught up.

Every dated deed, permit, inspection, license, violation, certification, and appeal is placed on the City’s annual assessment line. Select a point to read what happened; the line is an assessment history—not a sale-price chart or appraisal. OPA has also published a 2027 assessment of $10,800; it is not yet the billed-year tax basis.

What this record suggests
The dated deed and City-record sequence is assembled below. Read timing as a research lead, not proof of renovation, condition, or motive.
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.
Assessment and sale price disagree hard
Assessed at $11K, but it traded for $30,500 in 2023 — a 2.8× gap. Could be a non-market deed the record doesn't label, or an assessment that hasn't caught up.

Methodology & freshness
This report was assembled Jul 10, 2026, 9:29 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.
