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 $35,800 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

6514 N 9th St is assessed at $275K but pays $3,268 a year — about 85% of the $3,845 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
