ZIP Code 52557

In ZIP code 52557, which covers Fairfield, the county-level property tax rate is 1.41%, and per-capita income stands at $5,801. That combination shapes how housing costs land on local households: a higher-priced home carries a larger annual tax bill, and with earnings this low, even a mid-range assessment can absorb a meaningful share of yearly income. Sales tax adds 6.00% to purchases, trimming what's left after housing. Together, the property levy and income level mean buyers here should weigh assessed value carefully against what they actually bring in each year.
