ZIP Code 37863

In ZIP code 37863, near Gatlinburg, households bring in a median $53,191 a year, with per-capita income at $25,488 — squarely middle-income territory, though below what tourism-driven Sevier County often suggests. Homes run $284,100, and the county property tax rate of 0.28% keeps annual taxes low on that value. The bigger cost is at the register: a combined sales tax of 9.75% adds up quickly in a place where visitors and locals alike spend heavily. A solid working-to-middle-income area, then, where owning a home stays within reach but everyday purchases carry a heavier share of the tax load.
