Estimated property tax · per home, per year

Not enough history yet.

6
6 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 $18,841 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

4064 Wallace St is assessed at $605K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $8,465 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
