ZIP Code 53599

ZIP code 53599, centered on Belmont, sits in middle-income territory, with per-capita income of $44,977. Homes here carry a median value of $98,500, well below what higher-earning areas command, yet the county-level property tax rate of 1.57% still takes a meaningful bite out of ownership costs. Sales tax comes to 5.50% combined, which softens day-to-day purchases somewhat. Taken together, the picture is of a working- to middle-income community where housing prices stay within reach but the property tax load runs above what the lower home values might imply.
