ZIP Code 04777

In ZIP code 04777, near Orono, homes carry a median value of $106,300, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.16% works out to roughly $1,233 a year in taxes on such a home. With median household income at $53,472 and per-capita income of $29,238, that tax bill absorbs a noticeable share of earnings, though the low median home value keeps outright purchase within reach for many buyers. A combined sales tax rate of 5.50% adds a bit more to everyday costs, so the overall picture balances cheaper housing against a real, ongoing tax load.
