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 $34,571 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2603 S 68th St is assessed at $123K but pays $325 a year — about 19% of the $1,725 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
