The makeup of the block

2
2 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 $34,327 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2609-13 S 8th St is assessed at $586K but pays $7,640 a year — about 93% of the $8,200 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
