2
2 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 $44,556 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2104 S 20th St is assessed at $518K but pays $1,516 a year — about 21% of the $7,250 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
