Assessment note: this home is assessed at $143,750 — well below the ~$246,049 its asking price implies at Montgomery County's common level ratio (30.8%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $6,212/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($143,750, 1996 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale.
