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:
- 1246 W Girard Aveexemption0.00%$0/yr on $227K
- 1201 W Girard Avetax-abated new construction0.14%$35,580/yr on $25M
- 1234-36 W Girard Avetax-abated new construction0.28%$4,286/yr on $1.5M
The starkest example: 1201 W Girard Ave is assessed at $25M but pays $35,580 a year — about 10% of the $355,814 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 +10.9% a year against the city's 6.5%.
