ZIP Code 27853

In ZIP 27853, near Conway, homes are valued at a median of $75,500, and the county's 1.08% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $815 a year on such a home. With per-capita income at $36,834, that tax equals about 2.2% of annual earnings—a light load by most standards. Low home values keep both purchase prices and tax bills down, while a 6.75% combined sales tax applies to day-to-day purchases. The result is a market where owning a home demands a smaller share of income than in many places.
