4
4 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 $23,940 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value

Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 6 of 10 homes pay that full rate — and 4 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.

1.40% — the full rate0%0.4%0.8%1.2%
home on this blocktax-abated
$0pays now $9,899at the full rate

The starkest example: 1221-33 N 19th St is assessed at $707K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $9,899 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
