ZIP Code 36785

In ZIP code 36785, near Selma, homes carry a median value of $104,700 while the county's effective property tax rate sits at 0.39% — among the lower rates you'll find. That combination yields a yearly property tax bill of roughly $408. Yet with median household income at $29,619 and per-capita income at $19,537, even that sum claims a noticeable share of earnings. Add an 8.00% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the overall cost of living presses harder than the housing price alone implies. Ownership here hinges less on tax rates than on the gap between wages and daily expenses.
