1
1 property 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 $14,863 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, 3 of 13 homes pay that full rate — and 10 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.

The starkest example: 8303 Ardleigh St is assessed at $675K but pays $8,585 a year — about 91% of the $9,450 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
