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 $26,060 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2715 S 13th St is assessed at $398K but pays $2,167 a year — about 39% of the $5,567 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
