Estimated property tax · per home, per year

Not enough history yet.

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 $1,422,966 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

201 N 34th St is assessed at $44M but pays $47,447 a year — about 8% of the $610,999 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
