Compiled 25 September 2026, 14:37 UTC from the City of Philadelphia’s balance and assessment files. Balance by parcel; value by the Office of Property Assessment. Ratio = balance ÷ assessed value.
Philadelphia publishes what every parcel owes in back property tax, and what every parcel is worth. What it does not publish is the two together, sorted. This page does that: the largest outstanding balances in the city, each with the assessment sitting beside it.
Why the comparison is the point
A large balance on a valuable property is a different situation from a large balance on a property worth less than the debt. The first is a dispute, an estate, a stalled development, or an owner with the means to resolve it. The second is a parcel the market has already written off, where the tax is not coming back and the city's options are limited to sale or demolition.
The ratio column is the blunt comparison: what is owed divided by the city's own assessed value. Above 1.0, the debt exceeds the valuation.
What this is not
- Not a list of tax cheats. Balances accumulate for ordinary reasons: appeals pending, estates in probate, payment agreements in progress, properties in receivership. A high balance can be an administrative artefact.
- Not a people list. These are parcels, not households. No owner names appear here, deliberately.
- Not the final word on what is owed. Interest and penalty accrue while a case is in dispute, and a satisfied balance can take time to clear from the file the city publishes.
Every row carries its parcel number so it can be checked against the city's own records, and the method — which tables, which aggregation, which date — is stated under the table.
