Property tax
$1,288/year estimated property tax
2026 taxable assessment $92,000 × 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 $160,600. It is not the 2026 billed-year value.
Payments, credits, interest, and the current amount due are maintained by the City.
OPA 4521555002026 OPA removes $128,000 from the taxable assessment through the owner-occupant exemption.
Historical delinquency sources Record found
$11,074.19 was recorded for this parcel in Philadelphia's June 2022 delinquency snapshot for 2010–2021. That amount may have been paid, reduced, or increased since; it is not a current payoff figure.
$5,302.76 principal$3,870.39 interest$465.40 penalty$1,435.64 other charges
The snapshot’s 2022 context used $63,300 total assessment, $63,300 taxable, and $0 exempt/abated. Those historical fields can differ from today’s OPA exemption status.
A separate historical parcel ledger ending in 2016 records $7,732.42 and a lien entry. It is shown as historical context only.

Where the record looks off
Conflicts in City paperwork. Flags on the data, not the property.
Assessment and sale price disagree hard
Assessed at $161K, but it traded for $40,000 in 2024 — a 4.0× gap. Could be a non-market deed the record doesn't label, or an assessment that hasn't caught up.
Homestead exemption, mail goes elsewhere
The parcel claims the homestead exemption (owner lives here) while the tax bill mails to 530 E 159th St Apt 42, Bronx Ny, 10451. Those two facts sit in tension on the record — there can be innocent reasons, but one of them is usually out of date.

Methodology & freshness
This report was assembled Jul 28, 2026, 9:07 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.
