Minerva, NY — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 12977, near Minerva, households earn an average of $2,459 per person, and the county-level effective property tax rate is 1.47%. That rate applies to whatever a home is worth, so the actual tax bill rises or falls with property values rather than with earnings. A combined sales tax of 8.00% adds to everyday costs on top of that yearly property tax obligation. Because per-capita income here is quite small, even a home priced at a lower value could produce a property tax bill that takes up a meaningful share of what each person brings in.
