ZIP Code 70558

Households in ZIP code 70558, near Lafayette, keep a larger share of each paycheck than many places allow, since the county-level property tax rate sits at just 0.57% and the combined sales tax comes to 5.00%. A home assessed at a given value would generate a yearly tax bill well under one percent of that figure, which frees up cash for other expenses throughout the year. Day-to-day purchases carry a five percent charge at the register, a rate that adds little to the cost of groceries, supplies, or dining out. Together these two taxes leave room in the household budget for savings, debt payments, or everyday spending.
