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:
- 2801-37 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $3.6M
- 2842 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.24%$290/yr on $121K
- 2814 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.28%$343/yr on $125K
- 2846 W Glenwood Avetax-abated new construction0.28%$1,144/yr on $409K
- 2828 W Glenwood Aveexemption0.48%$732/yr on $152K
- …and 1 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2801-37 W Glenwood Ave is assessed at $3.6M but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $49,935 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
