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:
- 2012-14 Chestnut Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $2.8M
- 2016-18 Chestnut Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $1.8M
- 2025-29 Chestnut Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $5.5M
- 2037-39 Chestnut Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $1.4M
- 2010 Chestnut Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$1,564/yr on $1.1M
The starkest example: 2025-29 Chestnut St is assessed at $5.5M but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $77,342 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 +2.5% a year against the city's 6.5%.
Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $132 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.
