Who really pays
Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. Abatements and exemptions shrink what some homes are taxed on — here's this block:
- 1019-21 N Front Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $200K
- 1023 N Front Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $22K
- 1036-66 N Front Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $2.8M
- 1068 N Front Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$3,038/yr on $1.1M
- 1072 N Front Sttax-abated new construction0.77%$5,421/yr on $700K
- …and 2 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1043-69 N Front St is assessed at $12M but pays $116,672 a year — about 70% of the $166,674 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
The block as an asset
Read like a financial asset, this block has beaten the Philadelphia market, compounding +18.6% a year against the city's 6.5%.
