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 $14,608 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value

Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 1 of 10 homes pay that full rate — and 9 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.

$0pays now $3,410at the full rate

The starkest example: 1421 Tyson Ave is assessed at $244K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $3,410 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
