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 $223,593 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

525 N 11th St is assessed at $20M but pays $107,207 a year — about 38% of the $285,856 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
