ZIP Code 33609

In ZIP code 33609, which covers part of Tampa, homes carry a median value of $605,600 while the county's effective property tax rate sits at 0.81%. That combination yields an annual tax bill of roughly $4,900, a figure households here can absorb because median income reaches $115,844 and per-capita income is $86,989. Sales taxes add 7.50% at checkout. Even so, the gap between a six-figure median home price and six-figure earnings keeps ownership within reach for many buyers, though the property tax line remains a real annual cost rather than an afterthought.
