FAILED
The lapsed bill would have amended Philadelphia’s real estate tax rules so taxes on taxable property were based on assessed values recorded by the Board of Revision of Taxes in 2001. It sought to freeze real estate taxes at the level imposed for tax year 2002, subject to the bill’s terms and conditions.
Amending Section 19-1301 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Real Estate Taxes," by providing that real estate taxes imposed under that Section shall be based upon the assessed value of real estate as returned by the Board of Revision of Taxes in 2001, thereby freezing such real estate taxes at the level imposed for tax year 2002, under certain terms and conditions.
