PASSED
The enacted ordinance changes Philadelphia’s real estate tax exemption for improvements to residential properties. Instead of decreasing over 10 years, the assessable cost of eligible improvements would be exempt from real estate taxes for the full 10-year period, but the change takes effect only after state legislation authorizes it and applies to applications filed on or after that date.
Amending Section 19-1303(2) of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Authorization to Offer Exemption from Real Estate Taxes on Improvements to Residential Properties," by changing the exemption schedule for improvements to residential properties, under certain terms and conditions.
