1 property on this block carry a tax abatement or major exemption. New construction and gut rehabs get the improvement value exempted for up to 10 years, so their tax bills sit far below their real value — block-wide, exemptions keep about $25,411 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

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:

15 homes pay the full 1.40%3 pay less
$8,105pays now $18,118at the full rate

The starkest example: 213 S Bonsall St is assessed at $1.3M but pays $8,105 a year — about 45% of the $18,118 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%.
