Assessed-value change for the typical home. Philadelphia taxes a flat 1.3998% of value, so the bill moves with it.
The makeup of the block
Every home, plotted by size and assessed value — press play and watch the block reprice from 2016 to 2027. One bubble per house (area = lot size), colored by who owns it; a gold ring marks a material assessment exemption whose legal basis is not established by the roll. Click a bubble for its report.
