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 $40,412 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

4851 N 9th St is assessed at $170K but pays $1,046 a year — about 44% of the $2,377 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
