ZIP Code 34223

ZIP code 34223, centered on Port Charlotte, sits in solidly middle-income territory, with a median household income of $76,016 and per-capita income of $61,498. Home values run higher than the income figures alone might imply: the median property is worth $408,000, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.75% translates to a relatively contained annual bill on that value. Add a combined sales tax of 7.00%, and the overall tax picture leans on consumption rather than steep property levies. This is an area where earnings are comfortable but not wealthy, and housing costs carry more weight than the tax rate itself.
