3
3 properties on this block carry a tax abatement or major exemption. New construction and gut rehabs get the improvement value exempted for up to 10 years, so their tax bills sit far below their real value — block-wide, exemptions keep about $91,253 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

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:

5 homes pay the full 1.40%20 pay less
$1,868pays now $9,339at the full rate

The starkest example: 832 Manatawna Ave is assessed at $667K but pays $1,868 a year — about 20% of the $9,339 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 tracked the Philadelphia market, compounding +6.4% a year against the city's 6.5%.
