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:
- 3537 N 5th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $124K
- 3550 N 5th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $212K
- 3544 N 5th Stexemption0.42%$603/yr on $143K
- 3540 N 5th Stexemption0.44%$636/yr on $145K
- 3530 N 5th Stexemption0.47%$707/yr on $151K
- …and 2 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 3550 N 5th St is assessed at $212K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $2,972 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 +9% a year against the city's 6.5%.
