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:
- 4727 Walnut Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$464/yr on $332K
- 4727 Walnut Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$464/yr on $332K
- 4727 Walnut Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$506/yr on $362K
- 4727 Walnut Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$506/yr on $362K
- 4727 Walnut Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$584/yr on $417K
- …and 8 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 4700 Walnut St is assessed at $54M but pays $124,659 a year — about 17% of the $755,007 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
