ZIP Code 55609

In ZIP code 55609, near Beaver Bay, households bring in a median income of $78,208, while per-capita income sits at $37,484. The county-level property tax rate of 0.73% means a home's assessed value drives the annual bill directly: a $300,000 house would owe roughly $2,190 yearly, though actual values here vary. Combined with an 8.38% sales tax rate, ownership costs extend beyond the mortgage itself. How comfortably a buyer absorbs that property tax depends largely on the gap between earnings and purchase price, and with median income near $78,000, the ratio of tax to pay stays within reach for many working households.
