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:
- 2750 Amber Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $19K
- 2752 Amber Sttax-abated new construction0.02%$17/yr on $101K
- 2760 Amber Stexemption0.43%$613/yr on $144K
- 2753 Amber Stexemption0.48%$725/yr on $152K
- 2756 Amber Stexemption0.63%$1,130/yr on $181K
The starkest example: 2752 Amber St is assessed at $101K but pays $17 a year — about 1% of the $1,417 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 +13.6% a year against the city's 6.5%.
