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:

• 4947 Hazel Avetax-abated new construction0.04%$227/yr on $541K
• 4936 Hazel Avetax-abated new construction0.40%$1,982/yr on $501K
• 4920 Hazel Avetax-abated new construction0.41%$2,045/yr on $501K
• 4943 Hazel Avetax-abated new construction0.42%$2,045/yr on $492K
• 4942 Hazel Avetax-abated new construction0.69%$3,477/yr on $501K
• …and 14 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 4915 Hazel Ave is assessed at $651K but pays $5,095 a year — about 56% of the $9,113 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.

The block as an asset
