9
9 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 $69,407 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

730 S 18th St is assessed at $1.1M but pays $6,410 a year — about 42% of the $15,357 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
