By Lana Adams, Department of Revenue Most Philadelphia residents have already paid their 2020 property taxes. If you haven’t yet paid, you have until December 31 to either pay or get into a payment agreement. You already owe interest on your bill, but things can get worse. The clock is already ticking down, but you still have time to get into a payment agreement or pay your balance in full. On January 1, 2021, any outstanding 2020 Real Estate Taxes on your property will become delinquent.

The Department of Revenue understands the COVID-19 health crisis impacted businesses in Philadelphia tremendously. In response, we’re releasing a new payment plan to support businesses that were in tax compliance before the pandemic struck. If you needed a plan to get back on track with taxes, we’ve got one for you. You can use this new agreement if you: Are struggling to pay business taxes due after March 1, 2020 and Do not owe taxes before that date.

The majority of Philadelphia’s taxpayers have already paid their 2020 Real Estate Tax bill. If you haven’t, you have until Monday, June 15 to do so. This deadline has been moved twice due to the COVID-19 health emergency. Revenue from Real Estate Tax helps to fund essential City services including the emergency management teams, which have been so important in responding to the COVID-19 health emergency.
