Estimated property tax · per home, per year

Not enough history yet.

11
11 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 $4,292 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2210 S 72nd St is assessed at $44K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $613 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
