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:

• 1201 W Allegheny Aveexemption0.00%$0/yr on $75K
• 1203 W Allegheny Aveexemption0.00%$0/yr on $62K
• 1205 W Allegheny Aveexemption0.00%$0/yr on $62K
• 1243 W Allegheny Aveexemption0.00%$0/yr on $62K
• 1210 W Allegheny Avetax-abated new construction0.31%$533/yr on $173K
• …and 4 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1249-51 W Allegheny Ave is assessed at $622K but pays $5,486 a year — about 63% of the $8,710 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
