What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $111K typical home, up +121% since 2016
• Tax bill $700 to $1,548 a year, +7%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $5.6M assessed, $42,420/yr to the city, about $1,285 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:

• 6300 Buist Avetax-abated new construction0.10%$1,885/yr on $1.9M
• 6305 Buist Avetax-abated new construction0.13%$148/yr on $111K
• 6321 Buist Avetax-abated new construction0.13%$148/yr on $111K
• 6327 Buist Avetax-abated new construction0.13%$148/yr on $111K
• 6329 Buist Avetax-abated new construction0.13%$148/yr on $111K
• …and 4 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 6300 Buist Ave is assessed at $1.9M but pays $1,885 a year — about 7% of the $27,177 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 +7.5% a year against the city's 6.5%.
