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:
- 1203 Germantown Avetax-abated new construction0.14%$21,964/yr on $16M
- 1233 Germantown Avetax-abated new construction0.14%$1,274/yr on $910K
- 1216 Germantown Avetax-abated new construction0.14%$416/yr on $291K
- 1222 Germantown Aveexemption1.05%$4,177/yr on $398K
- 1224 Germantown Aveexemption1.06%$4,426/yr on $416K
- …and 1 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1203 Germantown Ave is assessed at $16M but pays $21,964 a year — about 10% of the $219,651 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 lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +5.5% a year against the city's 6.5%.
