ZIP Code 23398

In the Birdsnest area, ZIP code 23398 carries a county-level property tax rate of 0.57%, so a homeowner's annual bill stays tied closely to whatever their house is worth rather than climbing steeply on its own. Shoppers here also pay a combined 5.30% sales tax on purchases, which trims a little from each paycheck as it circulates through local stores. Together these rates shape how far a household's earnings stretch across the year — housing costs take their share upfront, while everyday spending carries its own smaller slice.
