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:
- 905 W Arizona Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $253K
- 913 W Arizona Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $40K
- 914 W Arizona Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $63K
- 919 W Arizona Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $109K
- 927 W Arizona Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $79K
- …and 11 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 905 W Arizona St is assessed at $253K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $3,546 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 lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +5.7% a year against the city's 6.5%.
