ZIP Code 29941

In ZIP code 29941, near Beaufort, homes carry a median value of $2,000,001, yet the county-level effective property tax rate is just 0.48%. That combination means annual property taxes stay low even at high valuations, which matters given median household income of $119,886 and per-capita income of $100,086. A 6.00% combined sales tax applies to purchases. High earnings alongside steep home prices and a low tax rate create an unusual mix: buyers face significant purchase costs, but ongoing property-tax expenses remain contained once ownership begins.
