Easton, MD — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP 21665, near Easton, homes are valued at a median of $672,600, and the county's 0.65% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $4,372 a year on such a house. With per-capita income at $82,297, that tax bill equals about 5.3% of annual earnings per person — a meaningful sum, though the high home values and strong incomes here keep the ratio from climbing further. Sales taxes add 6.00% to purchases. Whether buying makes sense hinges less on the rate itself than on how much income a household devotes to housing overall.
