ZIP Code 28109

In ZIP 28109, near Albemarle, homes carry a median value of $186,900, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.57% translates to roughly $1,065 in annual taxes on such a home. That bill weighs heavily against a median household income of $31,208 and per-capita income of $12,242, since the tax alone approaches 3.4% of household earnings. Combined with a 7.00% sales tax, everyday purchases also take a bite. Owning property here demands a larger share of income than in many places, even though the tax rate itself stays below one percent.
