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 $53,134 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2012 N 4th St is assessed at $400K but pays $143 a year — about 3% of the $5,594 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
