ZIP Code 22845

In ZIP code 22845, near Strasburg, the county-level effective property tax rate stands at 0.52%. That rate applies to whatever a home is worth, so the actual tax bill scales directly with value: a higher-priced house pays proportionally more, a lower-priced one less. Because the rate itself is low, the gap between what residents earn and what they owe in property tax stays narrow, which keeps ownership within reach for a range of incomes. Sales tax in this area totals 5.30%, a separate cost that applies to purchases rather than to holding a home.
