7
7 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 $30,875 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

3001-05 N 5th St is assessed at $526K but pays $4,349 a year — about 59% of the $7,366 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
