ZIP Code 29446

In ZIP 29446, which takes in Cottageville and the surrounding area, per-capita income stands at $23,163, so household spending here has to stretch further than in many parts of the state. Homes are valued at a median of $67,700, and the county's 0.55% effective property tax rate means the annual tax bill on such a home comes to roughly $372. Sales taxes, however, run 8.00%, which adds up on everyday purchases. With earnings at this level, housing costs stay low, but each trip to the register takes a noticeable bite out of the weekly budget.
