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:
- 1220 W Somerset Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $29K
- 1222 W Somerset Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $29K
- 1224 W Somerset Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $29K
- 1230 W Somerset Sttax-abated new construction0.08%$139/yr on $168K
- 1216 W Somerset Sttax-abated new construction0.09%$139/yr on $148K
- …and 10 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1230 W Somerset St is assessed at $168K but pays $139 a year — about 6% of the $2,352 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 tracked the Philadelphia market, compounding +6% a year against the city's 6.5%.
