ZIP Code 56473

In ZIP 56473, near Backus, homes carry a median value of $295,300 while the county-level effective property tax rate sits at 0.56%. That combination yields an annual property tax bill of roughly $1,654 for a median-valued home. With median household income at $85,950 and per-capita income at $42,703, the tax equals about 1.9% of household earnings, a share many owners can absorb without strain. The 7.38% combined sales tax applies to purchases rather than property, so it does not add to the annual ownership cost. Together these figures indicate that buying here stretches income less than in places where values outpace local wages.
