4 properties 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 $56,675 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:

12 homes pay the full 1.40%20 pay less
$3,187pays now $15,934at the full rate

The starkest example: 2203 Kater St is assessed at $1.1M but pays $3,187 a year — about 20% of the $15,934 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 +4.6% a year against the city's 6.5%.
