Reading, PA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
Homes in ZIP code 19535, near Reading, carry a county-level property tax rate of 1.65%, a figure that places a real weight on owners in this working-class pocket of Berks County. Combined with a 6.00% sales tax, everyday purchases also contribute steadily to the local tax base. Together these rates point to an area where incomes are stretched and housing costs take a meaningful share of earnings, rather than one cushioned by wealth. Buyers weighing a move here should plan for both the annual property tax bill and the added cost at the register.
