1 property 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 $86,212 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.
Who really pays — effective tax rate, one dot per home
2472 78th Ave is assessed at $259K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $3,624 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
