ZIP Code 12525

In ZIP code 12525, near Kingston, homes carry a median value of $446,500, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.77% works out to roughly $7,900 a year for a property at that value. Households here earn a median of $110,268, while per-capita income sits at $60,198, so the tax bill claims a meaningful share of annual earnings. Combined with an 8.00% sales tax, carrying costs add up beyond the mortgage alone. Whether that math feels workable depends largely on how long a household has held its home and how much equity it carries.
