The Homestead Exemption reduces the taxable portion of your property assessment by $80,000 if you own a home in Philadelphia and use it as your primary residence. Homeowners will typically save up to $1,119 each year with Homestead starting in 2023.
Once we accept your Homestead application, you never have to reapply, unless your deed changes.
You can fill out the application online at the Philadelphia Tax Center, or print one of the application forms and send them by mail to:
City of Philadelphia
Department of Revenue
PO Box 52817
Philadelphia, PA 19115
If you no longer qualify for the Homestead Exemption you must file the change/removal form.
