20
20 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 $22,965 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2851 N 8th St is assessed at $169K but pays $2,053 a year — about 87% of the $2,367 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
