ZIP Code 18473

In ZIP code 18473, near Damascus, homes carry a median value of $187,500, and the county's 1.25% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $2,344 a year on such a home. That bill lands hard against a median household income of $27,004 and per-capita income of $18,463, since the tax alone approaches a tenth of what a household brings in. Adding the 6.00% combined sales tax further stretches paychecks. Owning here demands far more of a resident's earnings than the sticker price of the house alone implies.
