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:

• 6412 N Smedley Sttax-abated new construction0.23%$273/yr on $120K
• 6416 N Smedley Stexemption0.64%$1,167/yr on $183K
• 6418 N Smedley Stexemption0.64%$1,167/yr on $183K
• 6424 N Smedley Stexemption0.64%$1,167/yr on $183K
• 6428 N Smedley Stexemption0.64%$1,167/yr on $183K
• …and 26 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 6412 N Smedley St is assessed at $120K but pays $273 a year — about 16% of the $1,673 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
