Official:Amending Chapter 19-300 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “Real Estate Taxes,” to establish rebates for early payment on real estate taxes, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Oh
Introduced: May 26, 2022
: Committee of the Whole
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2020–2023 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill proposes a 10% rebate on real estate taxes for individuals who pay their taxes by March 31st of each year. The rebate would apply to primary residences and would require taxpayers to submit an application with documentation to prove eligibility.
