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:
- 2220 Fontain Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $123K
- 2223 Fontain Sttax-abated new construction0.23%$279/yr on $120K
- 2231 Fontain Sttax-abated new construction0.23%$279/yr on $120K
- 2232 Fontain Sttax-abated new construction0.23%$279/yr on $120K
- 2238 Fontain Sttax-abated new construction0.23%$279/yr on $120K
- …and 2 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2220 Fontain St is assessed at $123K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $1,723 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 +22.2% a year against the city's 6.5%.
