ZIP Code 26544

In ZIP code 26544, near Morgantown, a household's overall costs hinge on two main rates. The county-level property tax rate is 0.47%, so a home's assessed value is taxed at less than half a percent each year. On top of that, the combined sales tax rate is 6.00%, which applies to most everyday purchases. Together, these two figures shape what a family keeps after housing and spending. Because the property rate stays under half a percent, annual tax bills on a home tend to stay contained, while the six percent sales tax adds a bit to each transaction.
