Estimated property tax · per home, per year

Not enough history yet.

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 $33,242 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2137 N 15th St is assessed at $713K but pays $2,496 a year — about 25% of the $9,986 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
