Assessment note: this home is assessed at $158,900 — well below the ~$217,360 its asking price implies at Lehigh County's common level ratio (49.4%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $1,498/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($158,900, 2013 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only — verify with Lehigh County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.
