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:
- 2221 Madison Sqtax-abated new construction0.32%$1,407/yr on $442K
- 2226 Madison Sqtax-abated new construction0.32%$1,407/yr on $442K
- 2230 Madison Sqtax-abated new construction0.38%$1,407/yr on $374K
- 2229 Madison Sqtax-abated new construction0.42%$1,877/yr on $442K
- 2203 Madison Sqexemption1.02%$3,777/yr on $370K
- …and 11 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2221 Madison Sq is assessed at $442K but pays $1,407 a year — about 23% of the $6,193 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 +5.2% a year against the city's 6.5%.
