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:
- 1323 Dorrance Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $110K
- 1325 Dorrance Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $110K
- 1308 Dorrance Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,389/yr on $496K
- 1305 Dorrance Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,351/yr on $483K
- 1322 Dorrance Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,352/yr on $483K
- …and 10 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1308 Dorrance St is assessed at $496K but pays $1,389 a year — about 20% of the $6,947 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 +42.2% a year against the city's 6.5%.
