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:
- 2245 Grays Ferry Avetax-abated new construction0.72%$5,685/yr on $788K
The starkest example: 2245 Grays Ferry Ave is assessed at $788K but pays $5,685 a year — about 52% of the $11,033 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 +9.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
