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:
- 524 Sigel Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,610/yr on $575K
- 513 Sigel Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,395/yr on $498K
- 515 Sigel Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,395/yr on $498K
- 526 Sigel Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,634/yr on $584K
- 531 Sigel Sttax-abated new construction0.33%$819/yr on $246K
- …and 14 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 526 Sigel St is assessed at $584K but pays $1,634 a year — about 20% of the $8,168 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 beaten the Philadelphia market, compounding +8.3% a year against the city's 6.5%.
