8
8 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 $277,604 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1730 S 10th St is assessed at $17M but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $230,989 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
