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:
- 5506 Spring Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $75K
- 5511 Spring Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $75K
- 5514 Spring Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $75K
- 5515 Spring Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $75K
- 5517 Spring Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $75K
- …and 5 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 5501 Spring St is assessed at $150K but pays $840 a year — about 40% of the $2,101 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
The block as an asset
