What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $172K typical home, up +103% since 2016

• Whole block: $11M assessed, $107,590/yr to the city, about $1,735 per home

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:

• 611 Brill Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $165K
• 603 Brill Stexemption0.54%$889/yr on $164K
• 649 Brill Stexemption0.54%$889/yr on $164K
• 605 Brill Stexemption0.55%$907/yr on $165K
• 613 Brill Stexemption0.55%$907/yr on $165K
• …and 26 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 611 Brill St is assessed at $165K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $2,307 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.

The block as an asset
