ZIP Code 35473

In ZIP code 35473, near Tuscaloosa, homes carry a median value of $272,800 while households bring in $69,657 a year and per-capita income reaches $37,803. The county's 0.32% effective property tax rate works out to a comparatively small annual bill on that median home, so owning here does not demand a large share of earnings. Sales taxes, however, reach 10.00% on purchases, adding ongoing cost that offsets some of the savings on property taxes. Buyers weighing this area should look at both sides: low carrying costs on a home, higher costs at the register.
