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:
- 2025 Amber Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$1,565/yr on $1.1M
- 2037 Amber Sttax-abated new construction0.17%$735/yr on $435K
- 2045 Amber Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,991/yr on $711K
- 2026-28 Amber Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$3,385/yr on $1.2M
- 2010 Amber Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$2,563/yr on $916K
- …and 21 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2026-28 Amber St is assessed at $1.2M but pays $3,385 a year — about 20% of the $16,926 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 +7.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $229 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
