ZIP Code 23005

In ZIP code 23005, near Mechanicsville, homes carry a median value of $402,700 while the county-level effective property tax rate sits at 0.66%. That combination yields an annual property tax bill of roughly $2,658, a figure that lands differently depending on household earnings. With median household income at $89,335, the tax equals about 3% of yearly income, and per-capita income reaches $47,746. Adding a 6.00% combined sales tax shapes the broader cost of living here, but the housing side stands out: buyers face substantial prices, yet the low effective rate keeps ongoing ownership costs from climbing as steeply as the sticker price might imply.
