Welch, WV — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 24816, which takes in Welch, households earn an average of $30,096 per person. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.67%, so a home's assessed value drives the annual bill — a $100,000 home would owe roughly $670. Sales tax adds 6.00% to most purchases, a cost that follows everyday spending rather than homeownership. Together, the two taxes pull at a budget from different directions: property tax lands once a year, sales tax a little at a time. With income near $30,000, both matter, though neither rate stands out as unusually steep.
