The City and the School District of Philadelphia impose a tax on all real estate in the City. The Board of Revision of Taxes (BRT) determines the value of the property on which the taxes must be paid.

Real Estate Tax bills are sent in December for the following year and payments are due March 31st. If you pay on or before the last day of February, you receive a 1% discount. If you pay after March 31, you are subject to increased charges which are collectively called "additions". At year-end these charges are capitalized and become tax principal on which interest and penalty will accrue.
