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:
- 1918 Catharine Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$952/yr on $680K
- 1918 Catharine Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$844/yr on $603K
- 1900 Catharine Sttax-abated new construction0.16%$1,113/yr on $677K
- 1903 Catharine Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$2,986/yr on $1.1M
- 1902 Catharine Sttax-abated new construction0.29%$1,151/yr on $399K
- …and 10 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1905 Catharine St is assessed at $1.6M but pays $7,017 a year — about 32% of the $21,716 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 tracked the Philadelphia market, compounding +7% a year against the city's 6.5%.
