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:
- 1240 W Butler Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $32K
- 1233 W Butler Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,941/yr on $702K
- 1221 W Butler Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$730/yr on $260K
- 1231 W Butler Stexemption0.28%$356/yr on $125K
- 1203 W Butler Stexemption0.29%$360/yr on $126K
- …and 16 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1233 W Butler St is assessed at $702K but pays $1,941 a year — about 20% of the $9,827 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 +8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
