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:
- 438 E Elkhart Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $72K
- 441 E Elkhart Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $72K
- 443 E Elkhart Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $72K
- 448 E Elkhart Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $72K
- 452 E Elkhart Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $48K
- …and 1 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 438 E Elkhart St is assessed at $72K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $1,004 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
The block as an asset
