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:
- 707 N 18th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $611K
- 703-05 N 18th Stexemption0.90%$2,534/yr on $281K
- 703-05 N 18th Stexemption0.94%$2,895/yr on $307K
- 703-05 N 18th Stexemption0.97%$3,201/yr on $329K
- 703-05 N 18th Stexemption1.03%$3,943/yr on $382K
The starkest example: 707 N 18th St is assessed at $611K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $8,553 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
