Assessment note: this home is assessed at $720,750, well below the ~$1,308,628 its asking price implies at Delaware County's common level ratio (54.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $21,034/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($720,750, 2021 base year) × current millage. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Delaware County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.

The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
