UPDATE (November 2, 2021): The City’s new tax filing and payment website, the Philadelphia Tax Center, is now live. From now on, please complete online returns and payments for most City business taxes on the new website. Check out our online tax center guide for help getting started and answers to common questions.

Your 2018 Real Estate Taxes were due on March 31 of last year. If you still haven’t paid your bill, it became delinquent on January 1. That means your account has been hit with penalties and interest, and the City can place a lien on your property. Eventually, you could lose your property to a Sheriff Sale.

It’s time to say goodbye to 2018 Real Estate Taxes. Pay them now, or get into a payment agreement, and they won’t spoil 2019.

Paying is easy

More than nine out of 10 Philadelphians pay their property taxes in full, or enter into a payment agreement. You should too. The Department of Revenue makes it easy.

It’s free when you use our online eCheck system. You can also pay for free by calling (877) 309-3710. Be ready to share your bank account and routing number. You will receive an immediate email receipt for payment.

Checks and money orders are still an option. Don’t forget to include the payment coupon. If you don’t have your bill, you can print out a payment coupon online.

You can also contact taxpayer service at (215) 686-6442 for a copy of your bill.

Homeowners can get help

If you can’t pay, we can help you set up a payment plan for your Real Estate Taxes. Revenue has payment agreements for all property owners, with particularly good terms for homeowners.

Can you pay most, but not all, your Real Estate Taxes? You should still get a payment agreement. It’s the only way to stop the penalties and interest that have already started to accumulate.

Ignoring letters about Real Estate Taxes won’t make the problem magically disappear –it will only make things worse. But we’ve expanded several homeowner assistance programs that help you stay in your home.
