ZIP Code 35601

In ZIP code 35601, which covers Decatur, homes carry a median value of $172,200 while households bring in a median of $51,429 a year. The county's effective property tax rate of 0.34% works out to roughly $585 annually on a home at that median value — a figure that stays contained against local earnings, though per-capita income sits lower at $28,453. A combined sales tax of 9.00% adds to the cost of daily purchases, so buyers weighing a move here should account for both the yearly tax bill and what they'll pay at the register.
