Property tax
$2,237/year estimated property tax
2026 taxable assessment $159,800 × 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 $200,300. It is not the 2026 billed-year value.
Payments, credits, interest, and the current amount due are maintained by the City.
OPA 4533571002026 taxable assessment equals the full assessed value.
Historical delinquency sources Record found
$2,432.27 was recorded for this parcel in Philadelphia's June 2022 delinquency snapshot for 2019–2021. That amount may have been paid, reduced, or increased since; it is not a current payoff figure.
$1,357.36 principal$275.96 interest$211.48 penalty$587.47 other charges
The snapshot’s 2022 context used $112,700 total assessment, $112,700 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 $2,501.02 and a lien entry. It is shown as historical context only.
2014$123.55 total · $77.05 principal · $15.02 interest · $5.40 penalty2015$1,239.66 total · $921.52 principal · $96.76 interest · $64.51 penalty2016$1,137.81 total · $962.64 principal · $14.44 interest · $9.63 penalty

Where the record looks off
Conflicts in City paperwork. Flags on the data, not the property.
Assessment and sale price disagree hard
Assessed at $200K, but it traded for $47,000 in 2024 — a 4.3× gap. Could be a non-market deed the record doesn't label, or an assessment that hasn't caught up.

Methodology & freshness
This report was assembled Jul 25, 2026, 10:04 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.
