ZIP Code 36869

In ZIP code 36869, near Cottonton, homes carry a median value of $136,700 while the county's effective property tax rate sits at 0.38%. That combination yields an annual tax bill well below what many parts of the country see on comparable housing. Households here earn a median of $50,061, and per-capita income reaches $26,543, so the tax on a median-valued home takes only a slim share of yearly earnings. Sales taxes, however, run 9.75% on purchases, a cost that follows everyday spending regardless of whether someone owns or rents.
