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:
- 1215 W Cumberland Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $38K
- 1219 W Cumberland Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $71K
- 1235 W Cumberland Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $37K
- 1237 W Cumberland Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $37K
- 1239 W Cumberland Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $37K
- …and 4 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1217 W Cumberland St is assessed at $158K but pays $467 a year — about 21% of the $2,210 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
The block as an asset
