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:
- 5927 Algon Aveexemption0.66%$1,240/yr on $189K
- 5929 Algon Aveexemption0.66%$1,240/yr on $189K
- 5925 Algon Aveexemption0.68%$1,323/yr on $195K
- 5905 Algon Aveexemption0.68%$1,337/yr on $196K
- 5921 Algon Aveexemption0.70%$1,389/yr on $199K
- …and 7 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 5923 Algon Ave is assessed at $196K but pays $2,447 a year — about 89% of the $2,745 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
