3
3 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 $37,418 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

331 S 12th St is assessed at $1.5M but pays $15,793 a year — about 76% of the $20,780 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
