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:
- 505 Cobbs Creek Pkwytax-abated new construction0.28%$1,216/yr on $431K
- 507 Cobbs Creek Pkwytax-abated new construction0.35%$1,415/yr on $400K
- 511 Cobbs Creek Pkwyexemption0.70%$1,383/yr on $199K
- 515 Cobbs Creek Pkwyexemption0.74%$1,569/yr on $212K
- 501 Cobbs Creek Pkwyexemption0.77%$1,705/yr on $222K
The starkest example: 505 Cobbs Creek Pkwy is assessed at $431K but pays $1,216 a year — about 20% of the $6,028 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
