The Realty Transfer Tax applies to the sale or transfer of real estate located in Philadelphia. The tax becomes payable when a property deed (or other document showing realty ownership) is filed with the Records Department.
The Plaintiff in the case may cancel or adjourn a Sheriff's Sale. Typical reasons for doing so include settlement or bankruptcy.
One of the easiest ways to stop a sheriff's sale in Philadelphia is to file for bankruptcy. Once you do, an automatic stay will go into effect, stopping creditors' debt-collection efforts, including a sheriff's sale. If you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your property will be unaffected.
A Sheriff Sale can be stopped by (1) the writ being stayed – that is all proceedings involving the sale of the property are stopped; (2) a court order; (3) a bankruptcy being filed; (4) debtor makes payment or comes to an agreement directly with the mortgage holder.
Each adjournment can take up to 30 days, which means a sale could end up taking months longer than originally planned. Fortunately, a law was passed in 2019 that ensures there is only a maximum of five adjournments during a sheriff sale.
