ZIP Code 13205

In ZIP code 13205, on Syracuse's south side, homes carry a median value of $99,000, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 2.44% works out to roughly $2,416 a year on such a home. With median household income at $38,497 and per-capita income at $23,322, that tax bill consumes a meaningful share of earnings, even though the homes themselves are inexpensive by national standards. A combined sales tax rate of 8.00% adds further cost to everyday purchases. Ownership here stays within reach mainly because prices are low, not because the tax load is light.
