ZIP Code 10311

ZIP code 10311 covers part of Staten Island, where the county-level property tax rate sits at 0.93%. That rate is on the gentler side for New York City's outer boroughs, which can ease the carrying costs of ownership in this working- to middle-income area. A combined sales tax of 8.88% applies to purchases, a figure in line with what shoppers across the city pay. Together, the two taxes shape daily life here: homeowners keep a smaller share of their income tied up in property levies, while everyday spending carries the standard citywide rate.
