In ZIP code 66118, on the east side of Kansas City, a household’s paycheck gets divided between daily purchases and the cost of owning a home. Sales tax here runs 9.12%, so groceries, clothing, and other taxable goods carry a noticeable surcharge at checkout. Property taxes, meanwhile, average 1.46% of a home’s assessed value county-wide, a figure that shapes annual housing costs for owners.
