Assessment note: this home is assessed at $14,000 — well below the ~$21,975 its asking price implies at Bucks County's common level ratio (5.9%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $1,465/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($14,000, 1972 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only — verify with Bucks County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.
