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 $12,598 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

6245 Walnut St is assessed at $105K but pays $76 a year — about 5% of the $1,475 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
