ZIP Code 56470

In ZIP 56470, which takes in Detroit Lakes, households bring in a median of $67,500 a year, while per-capita income sits at $40,545. A home priced near the median of $291,100 would carry an annual property tax bill of roughly $2,300 at the county's 0.79% effective rate. Add the 7.38% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and a household here can expect a steady share of earnings to go toward housing and consumption taxes. What's left each month depends on how much of that $67,500 goes to the mortgage, but the county-level property levy takes a comparatively slim slice of the annual total.
