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 $31,548 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

333 S 3rd St is assessed at $873K but pays $4,534 a year — about 37% of the $12,216 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
