ZIP Code 29205

In ZIP 29205, which covers part of Columbia, homes carry a median value of $349,700 while the county's effective property tax rate sits at 0.67%. That combination yields an annual tax bill far below what many metro areas charge on comparable housing. Households here earn a median of $64,231, with per-capita income at $55,656, so property taxes take a smaller slice of earnings than the headline home price might imply. Sales taxes run 8.00% on purchases. Buyers weighing a move should note that the gap between income and home value still shapes what monthly ownership costs look like.
