4
4 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 $32,863 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

4109 N 5th St is assessed at $141K but pays $789 a year — about 40% of the $1,972 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
