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 $63,394 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2700 S 18th St is assessed at $327K but pays $2,814 a year — about 61% of the $4,582 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
