2
2 properties on this block carry a tax abatement or major exemption. New construction and gut rehabs get the improvement value exempted for up to 10 years, so their tax bills sit far below their real value — block-wide, exemptions keep about $63,895 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

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:

9 homes pay the full 1.40%4 pay less
$54,450pays now $114,631at the full rate

The starkest example: 1238-46 Belmont Ave is assessed at $8.2M but pays $54,450 a year — about 48% of the $114,631 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 tracked the Philadelphia market, compounding +6.5% a year against the city's 6.5%.
