Philadelphia’s ‘unbelievable’ assessments confound property owners with wildly inequitable taxes.
Of the 400,000 homeowners in Philadelphia, only 3 percent receive property-tax bills based on the true value of their real estate. For the remaining 387,000, the amounts they are charged are wrong, and often wildly so - derived from assessments that, on average, are 40 percent off the mark, according to an analysis by The Inquirer.
