UPDATE: Homestead Exemption application is back online (Wednesday, September 12, 2018)

Due to a temporary technical issue on the online application, Philadelphia homeowners now have until September 20, 2018, to apply for the Homestead Exemption. The Homestead Exemption saves most homeowners up to $559 every year on their Real Estate Tax bill.

Access to the online application was interrupted between Friday, September 7 and Wednesday, September 12. The problem has been resolved. You can apply for Homestead immediately online. We are also accepting applications over the phone at (215) 686-9200 and by mail.  Find full details, and an application, online.
