ZIP Code 23870

In ZIP code 23870, near Jarratt, the county-level property tax rate sits at 0.54%, so a household's annual tax bill stays closely tied to whatever its home is worth. Add a 5.30% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall cost of living here depends heavily on earnings. A family bringing in more can absorb that sales tax across everyday spending without much strain, while a tighter income will feel it more sharply on each trip to the store. Homes here also tend to carry lower values than in larger metros, which keeps the property tax total down even at that rate.
