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:
- 1506 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.23%$280/yr on $120K
- 1526 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.25%$300/yr on $121K
- 1532 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.25%$300/yr on $121K
- 1534 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.25%$300/yr on $121K
- 1538 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.25%$300/yr on $121K
- …and 1 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1526 W Glenwood Ave is assessed at $121K but pays $300 a year — about 18% of the $1,699 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 +12.1% a year against the city's 6.5%.
