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 $3,519 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value

Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 5 of 8 homes pay that full rate — and 3 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.

$1,428pays now $3,721at the full rate

The starkest example: 868-70 N 44th St is assessed at $266K but pays $1,428 a year — about 38% of the $3,721 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.

The block as an asset
