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:
- 3923 Brandywine Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $238K
- 3933-37 Brandywine Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $667K
- 3931 Brandywine Sttax-abated new construction0.16%$193/yr on $119K
- 3939 Brandywine Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$831/yr on $297K
- 3925 Brandywine Stexemption0.58%$1,001/yr on $172K
- …and 3 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 3933-37 Brandywine St is assessed at $667K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $9,330 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 lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +3.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
