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:
- 8001 Bustleton Avetax-abated new construction0.08%$941/yr on $1.2M
The starkest example: 8001 Bustleton Ave is assessed at $1.2M but pays $941 a year — about 6% of the $17,055 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
