ZIP Code 35603

ZIP code 35603, centered on Courtland, sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $81,490 and per-capita income of $42,141. Homes here carry a median value of $247,400, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.34% keeps annual tax bills on those homes comparatively contained. Sales tax, however, runs 9.00% on purchases, a higher combined rate that offsets some of the savings homeowners see on property taxes. Taken together, the area skews toward a stable, middle-class profile, where earnings and home prices land above many rural ZIPs but the steep sales tax adds to everyday costs.
