Assessment note: this home is assessed at $306,000 — well below the ~$463,961 its asking price implies at Berks County's common level ratio (34.4%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $6,833/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($306,000, 1994 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale.
