What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $184K typical home, up +132% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,076 to $2,291 a year, +7%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $7.5M assessed, $72,962/yr to the city, about $2,027 per home

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:

• 1933 Sigel Sttax-abated new construction0.37%$1,529/yr on $410K
• 1944 Sigel Sttax-abated new construction0.39%$722/yr on $184K
• 1939 Sigel Sttax-abated new construction0.40%$756/yr on $189K
• 1934 Sigel Sttax-abated new construction0.52%$1,520/yr on $295K
• 1913 Sigel Stexemption0.54%$892/yr on $164K
• …and 14 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1933 Sigel St is assessed at $410K but pays $1,529 a year — about 27% of the $5,735 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 +8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
