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:
- 5321 W Columbia Avetax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $100K
- 5323 W Columbia Avetax-abated new construction0.12%$130/yr on $109K
- 5325 W Columbia Avetax-abated new construction0.12%$130/yr on $109K
- 5351 W Columbia Avetax-abated new construction0.16%$182/yr on $113K
- 5341 W Columbia Avetax-abated new construction0.19%$220/yr on $116K
- …and 19 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 5341 W Columbia Ave is assessed at $116K but pays $220 a year — about 14% of the $1,620 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 tracked the Philadelphia market, compounding +6.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
