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 $29,564 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1819 S 2nd St is assessed at $414K but pays $2,158 a year — about 37% of the $5,792 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
