Estimated property tax · per home, per year

Not enough history yet.

5
5 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 $53,485 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1948 N 19th St is assessed at $630K but pays $1,764 a year — about 20% of the $8,819 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
