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:
- 2230 S 12th Sttax-abated new construction0.55%$2,308/yr on $416K
- 2234 S 12th Stexemption0.88%$2,363/yr on $269K
- 2232 S 12th Stexemption0.89%$2,445/yr on $275K
- 2233 S 12th Stexemption0.92%$2,654/yr on $290K
- 2235 S 12th Stexemption0.92%$2,654/yr on $290K
The starkest example: 2230 S 12th St is assessed at $416K but pays $2,308 a year — about 40% of the $5,823 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
