1
1 property 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 $4,383 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

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:

6 homes pay the full 1.40%3 pay less
$584pays now $2,167at the full rate

The starkest example: 1226 W Lycoming St is assessed at $155K but pays $584 a year — about 27% of the $2,167 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
