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 $0/yr reflects a 10-year abatement. It steps up every year and reaches about $1,191/yr in 2037 — $1,191/yr more. Price the full bill, not the current one.

Built 1925: 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

When the abatement ends, file for Homestead

An abated home cannot also take the Homestead Exemption. From 2037 it can — knocking about $1,400/yr off the full bill.

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 $0/yr under a 10-year tax abatement that steps down every year. In 2037 the bill reaches its full ~$1,191/yr — a step up of $1,191/yr, 10 assessment years out. Drag the slider.

now: ($85,100 assessed − $85,100 abated) × 1.3998% ≈ $0/yr 2037: $85,100 assessed × 1.3998% ≈ $1,191/yr The abated slice shrinks ~10% a year (post-2022 program, started 2027) — 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.
