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:
- 904 W Somerset Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $81K
- 905 W Somerset Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $89K
- 907 W Somerset Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $89K
- 912 W Somerset Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $51K
- 914 W Somerset Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $63K
- …and 9 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 905 W Somerset St is assessed at $89K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $1,251 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
