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:
- 2231 S 56th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $99K
- 2233 S 56th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $96K
- 2239 S 56th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $96K
- 2210 S 56th Sttax-abated new construction0.04%$38/yr on $103K
- 2218 S 56th Sttax-abated new construction0.04%$38/yr on $103K
- …and 9 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2241 S 56th St is assessed at $107K but pays $102 a year — about 7% of the $1,502 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 +7.4% a year against the city's 6.5%.
