10
10 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 $12,245 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2947 N 7th St is assessed at $101K but pays $13 a year — about 1% of the $1,412 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
