15
15 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 $59,388 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2428-30 S 5th St is assessed at $482K but pays $1,302 a year — about 19% of the $6,750 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
