Assessment note: this home is assessed at $156,950, well below the ~$1,070,300 its asking price implies at Chester County's common level ratio (30.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $35,688/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($156,950, 1998 base year) × current millage. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Chester County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.
