8
8 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 $56,233 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2301-41 S 3rd St is assessed at $1.5M but pays $1,040 a year — about 5% of the $20,804 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
