2026 taxable assessment $281,880 × 1.3998%. Estimate—not a bill or account balance.
OPA also publishes a 2027 assessment of $1,409,400; 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.”

This parcel did not match the June 2022 delinquency snapshot. That absence does not confirm the account is current today.
A separate historical parcel ledger ending in 2016 records $4,159.58 and a lien entry. It is shown as historical context only.

Record summarydemolition was recorded in 2017, followed by a 2014 construction permit and a $1.4M transfer in 2026.
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
Verify the current tax bill and exemption
The 2026 taxable assessment implies about $3,946/yr, while applying the same rate to the full assessment would imply about $19,729/yr — $15,783/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.
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.
$4,160 in the historical tax ledger through 2016
Historical context only, not a current payoff figure; that ledger also contains a lien entry. Verify today's balance and lien status directly with Philadelphia Revenue before relying on it.

What this record suggests
The City file documents 12 permits touching electrical work, plumbing, roof work. 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 · historical tax ledger through 2016 recorded $4K with a lien entry · 1 zoning/board appeal on record. Informational only — not investment advice or a consumer report (FCRA).
The assessment exemption gap
OPA's 2026 taxable assessment implies about $3,946/year. Applying the same 1.3998% rate to the full assessed value would imply ~$19,729/year — $15,783/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.
2026: ($1,409,400 assessed − $1,127,503 exempt) × 1.3998% ≈ $3,946/yr
full-assessment scenario: $1,409,400 × 1.3998% ≈ $19,729/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.

Run the numbers
What owning 739 Bainbridge 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 (2026) a 30-year mortgage ran about 6.6% — Freddie Mac's average that year.

Methodology & freshness
This report was assembled Jul 11, 2026, 3:21 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.
