ZIP Code 33805

In ZIP code 33805, which covers part of Lakeland, homes carry a median value of $197,500 while the county-level property tax rate sits at 0.72%. That combination yields an annual tax bill well below what many Florida markets demand, a meaningful detail given a median household income of $62,661. Per-capita income reaches $27,893, so ownership here leans on dual earners or long tenure rather than single salaries. A 7.00% combined sales tax applies to purchases throughout the area, trimming disposable income that might otherwise go toward a down payment or mortgage principal.
