If you received a “Warning of Risk of Tax Foreclosure” letter from the City of Philadelphia in the mail, take it seriously. Now is the time pay your Real Estate Tax bill in full, or enroll into a payment plan.

If you ignore your bill,

  • The amount you owe will continue to increase.
  • You could end up losing your home at a Sheriff Sale.

We’ve published the full text of the letter on the City’s website. It includes information about programs that help you stay in your home.

Last year, we expanded the Owner-Occupied Payment Agreement (OOPA) to reach more Philadelphia residents. Senior Citizens and low-income residents can also qualify for Real Estate Tax installments plans.

The letter also lists counseling agencies that can show you how to apply for assistance programs.

For residents who don’t speak English as their first language, the letter is available in eight other languages (see links below).

Waiting will only make things worse. If you received a Warning of Risk of Tax Foreclosure letter, take action today.
