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
Today's $2,854/yr reflects a 10-year abatement. It steps up every year and reaches about $14,275/yr in 2033 — $11,421/yr more. Price the full bill, not the current one.
If you own it
An abated home cannot also take the Homestead Exemption. From 2033 it can — knocking about $1,400/yr off the full bill.
If you’re the landlord
Renewal requires city tax clearance and zero open L&I violations on the property. A lapsed license suspends the right to collect rent or evict.
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 $2,854/yr under a 10-year tax abatement that steps down every year. In 2033 the bill reaches its full ~$14,275/yr — a step up of $11,421/yr, 6 assessment years out. Drag the slider.
now: ($1,019,800 assessed − $815,914 abated) × 1.3998% ≈ $2,854/yr
2033: $1,019,800 assessed × 1.3998% ≈ $14,275/yr
The abated slice shrinks ~10% a year (post-2022 program, started 2023) — 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.

City datasets are fetched live from OpenDataPhilly (phl.carto.com) and cached briefly. Dossiers re-pull automatically — on view once they're a few weeks old, plus a nightly rolling sweep — and citywide benchmarks recompute weekly; the masthead date is when this page's records were last pulled. AI-written passages are generated from these records only and rejected if they state a number the record doesn't hold.
