Your 2019 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.

First, the bad news: Your account has already been hit with penalties and interest, and the City placed a lien on your property. Eventually, you could lose your property to a Sheriff Sale.

Now, the good: If you can pay, the Philadelphia Department of Revenue makes it easy to do so. If you don’t have the full amount, we can get you into a payment plan right now.

Easy to pay

If you can pay all or some of your Real Estate Tax bill, you have several options.

• Search your Real Estate Tax balance and pay online.
  It’s free when you use eCheck. You can also use debit or credit cards for a fee.

• Call (833) 913-0795 to pay over the telephone.
  This option is also free, but be ready to share your bank account and routing number. You can also use a debit or credit card over the phone for a fee.

• Checks and money orders are still an option.
  If you lost your bill, you can print out a payment coupon online. Mail checks or money orders, or submit them in person across from City Hall or our two satellite offices.

• Finally, you can pay in cash.
  But only in the Municipal Services Building in Center City:
  1401 John F. Kennedy Blvd.
  Philadelphia, PA 19102

Easy to 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 very good terms for homeowners.

We’ve expanded several homeowner assistance programs –including the Owner-Occupied Payment Agreement– that help you stay in your home.

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 are already making your debt worse.

Email revenue@phila.gov or call (215) 686-6442 to ask about payment plans today.
