4
4 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 $33,504 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1934 N 3rd St is assessed at $612K but pays $4,168 a year — about 49% of the $8,564 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
