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:
- 2517 N 4th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $53K
- 2520 N 4th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $115K
- 2521 N 4th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $162K
- 2528-32 N 4th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $238K
- 2529 N 4th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $179K
- …and 24 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2528-32 N 4th St is assessed at $238K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $3,330 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 +10.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
