Official:Amending Section 19-1303(3) of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Authorization to Offer Exemptions from Real Estate Taxes on Improvements to Deteriorated Industrial, Commercial or Other Business Properties," by revising the boundaries of the area in which properties are eligible for exemptions, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Green
Introduced: February 7, 2008
: Committee on Finance
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill revises the boundaries of areas eligible for tax exemptions on improvements to deteriorated industrial and commercial properties.
