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:
- 1827 Fitzwater Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $805K
- 1841 Fitzwater Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $1.6M
- 1826 Fitzwater Sttax-abated new construction0.34%$1,470/yr on $429K
- 1831 Fitzwater Sttax-abated new construction0.35%$2,133/yr on $617K
- 1824 Fitzwater Sttax-abated new construction0.46%$2,906/yr on $635K
- …and 13 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1841 Fitzwater St is assessed at $1.6M but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $21,984 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 lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +5.1% a year against the city's 6.5%.
