Property tax
$1,281/year estimated property tax
2026 taxable assessment $91,522 × 1.3998%. This is an estimate, not a bill or account balance. The City maintains payments, credits, interest, and the current amount due.
OPA has published a 2027 assessment of $397,700. It is not the 2026 billed-year value.
Payments, credits, interest, and the current amount due are maintained by the City.
OPA 3131061002026 OPA taxes $91,522 of $362,500 assessed. The assessment fields alone do not identify a program, approval date, expiration, or buyer eligibility.

$1.35 was recorded for this parcel in Philadelphia's June 2022 delinquency snapshot for 2020. That amount may have been paid, reduced, or increased since; it is not a current payoff figure.
$1.06 principal$0.14 interest$0.07 penalty$0.08 other charges
The snapshot’s 2022 context used $316,100 total assessment, $73,900 taxable, and $242,200 exempt/abated. Those historical fields can differ from today’s OPA exemption status.
A separate historical parcel ledger ending in 2016 records $1,631.35 and a lien entry. It is shown as historical context only.
2016$1,631.35 total · $1,264.20 principal · $18.96 interest · $12.64 penalty

The assessment exemption gap
OPA's 2026 roll shows a partial assessment exemption. The annual difference is measurable; the reason for it and what happens after a sale are not established here.

Show the assessment math
2026: ($362,500 assessed − $270,978 exempt) × 1.3998% ≈ $1,281/year
Full-assessment scenario: $362,500 × 1.3998% ≈ $5,074/year
Do not treat the full-assessment scenario as inevitable or assume the current relief transfers. Obtain the approval history and verify the live Tax Center account before relying on either number.

A license is an L&I registration, not proof that a business is open, operating today, or located at this storefront. Dates are license dates. Events are deduped by parcel, business identity, and license type, so a renewal is not shown as another opening. Other permit and filing types remain in the full source ledger.

Methodology & freshness
This report was assembled Jul 23, 2026, 4:22 PM 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.
