ZIP Code 24962

In ZIP code 24962, near Forest Hill, households keep more of what they earn thanks to a county property tax rate of just 0.31%. On a $200,000 home, that works out to only about $620 a year, a light drag on the annual budget compared with many parts of the country. Sales taxes, meanwhile, total 6.00% on purchases, so everyday spending carries a predictable cost. Together these rates shape a fairly gentle tax picture: homeowners here aren't handing over a big slice of income to property levies, which can free up cash for savings, bills, or other priorities throughout the year.
