The best way to file and pay your City of Philadelphia taxes and water bills is always online. When you can’t, we encourage paying property taxes or water balances over the telephone.
Another option is mailing your forms and payments to the Department of Revenue. Different processing units within the Department use different P.O. Boxes for paper correspondence.

We understand some taxpayers and water customers prefer in-person service. But as the City takes measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus in Philadelphia, face-to-face customer assistance, for now, is not an option.
For other updates related to the City’s COVID-19 response, including when offices will re-open, please text “COVIDPHL” to 888-777.
