Assessment note: this home is assessed at $18,400 — well below the ~$43,364 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 $4,399/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($18,400, 1972 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale.
