ZIP Code 28705

In ZIP code 28705, which takes in Bakersville, homes carry a median value of $220,600 while the county's effective property tax rate sits at 0.52%. That combination yields an annual tax bill well below what many parts of North Carolina see. Households here earn a median of $54,858, and per-capita income reaches $35,764, so property taxes absorb a comparatively slim share of yearly earnings. Day-to-day purchases face a 6.75% combined sales tax. Together these figures point to a housing market where ownership costs stay within reach of local paychecks.
