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 $79,788 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1410 S 13th St is assessed at $799K but pays $3,845 a year — about 34% of the $11,177 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
