ZIP Code 38401

In ZIP code 38401, near Belfast, homes carry a median value of $339,400 while the county's effective property tax rate sits at 0.45%. That combination yields an annual property tax bill of roughly $1,527, which weighs lightly against a median household income of $68,475. Per-capita income reaches $35,920, so buying at the median price demands a meaningful stretch for many earning households, yet the tax itself absorbs only a small share of yearly earnings. A combined sales tax of 9.75% applies to purchases, adding a separate cost that shapes day-to-day spending alongside the housing expense.
