ZIP Code 35757

In ZIP code 35757, near Athens, homes carry a median value of $337,000 while the county's effective property tax rate sits at just 0.40%. That combination yields an annual tax bill well below what many higher-rate areas demand, even though local households bring in a median of $106,175 and per-capita income of $48,964. Because the rate stays low, a larger share of earnings can go toward a mortgage, savings, or daily costs. Sales taxes run 9.00% on purchases, adding to everyday expenses, yet the property tax side of homeownership here places comparatively little strain on area incomes.
