ZIP Code 61449

Homes in the 61449 ZIP code area near Galesburg carry a median value of $66,100, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.69% works out to roughly $1,117 a year on a home at that price. With median household income at $51,635 and per-capita income at $46,708, that tax bill absorbs only a small share of annual earnings. The combined sales tax rate of 7.75% applies to purchases rather than property, so owning a home here keeps yearly carrying costs tied mostly to a low assessed value.
