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 $82,219 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.
Who really pays — effective tax rate, one dot per home
748 S 6th St is assessed at $760K but pays $7,083 a year — about 67% of the $10,643 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
