16
16 properties 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 $67,877 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1117 S 20th St is assessed at $800K but pays $8,212 a year — about 73% of the $11,198 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
