7
7 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 $52,161 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1328 S 9th St is assessed at $1.4M but pays $2,177 a year — about 11% of the $20,223 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
