ZIP Code 45821

In ZIP code 45821, near Defiance, homes carry a median value of $118,100, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.03% works out to roughly $1,216 a year for a house at that price. With median household income at $76,648 and per-capita income at $33,623, that tax bill takes a fairly contained share of earnings, so owning here doesn't demand an outsized slice of pay. A combined sales tax of 7.25% applies to purchases, adding a bit to everyday costs, but the relationship between home prices and local wages keeps entry into the housing market within reach for many buyers.
