5
5 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 $35,429 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

920 S 10th St is assessed at $583K but pays $3,595 a year — about 44% of the $8,166 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
