ZIP Code 20551

ZIP code 20551 sits in Washington, D.C., where the county-level property tax rate comes to 0.58%. That rate is well below what many large metro areas charge, so owners here keep a larger share of their home's value each year than they would in higher-tax jurisdictions. The combined sales tax rate of 6.00% applies to purchases across the district. Together, these figures point to an affluent, stable tax environment: property levies stay low while the sales tax reflects a dense, service-heavy urban economy. Households in this ZIP shoulder a comparatively gentle overall tax load, with neither levy climbing into the steep ranges seen elsewhere.
