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:
- 1620 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $95K
- 1636 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $79K
- 1632 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.22%$262/yr on $119K
- 1622 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.45%$427/yr on $95K
The starkest example: 1632 W Glenwood Ave is assessed at $119K but pays $262 a year — about 16% of the $1,662 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 +15.1% a year against the city's 6.5%.
