Arlington, VA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 22214, near Arlington, property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.91% at the county level, so a household earning around the area median could expect an annual property tax bill in the low thousands on a home priced near the local average. Combined with a 6.00% sales tax, everyday purchases carry a noticeable but predictable cost. Together these rates shape how far a paycheck stretches: housing takes the largest share, sales tax adds incrementally to routine spending, and what remains covers other essentials. Buyers weighing a move here should factor both into their monthly planning.
