ZIP Code 50477

In ZIP code 50477, near Mason City, homes carry a median value of $83,000, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.45% works out to roughly $1,204 a year on a house at that price. With median household income at $52,321 and per-capita income at $27,332, that tax bill takes a meaningful bite out of earnings, though the low home values keep the dollar amount contained. A combined sales tax rate of 7.00% adds to the overall cost of living, so buyers weighing a purchase here should factor both taxes into what they can carry.
