10
10 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 $156,353 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1223 N 7th St is assessed at $5.7M but pays $8,028 a year — about 10% of the $80,279 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
