6
6 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 $27,132 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2121 N 12th St is assessed at $256K but pays $1,092 a year — about 30% of the $3,581 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
