ZIP Code 71678

In ZIP code 71678, near Yorktown, households keep more of each paycheck than many places allow. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.52%, so a home assessed at $150,000 would draw roughly $780 a year in taxes. Sales tax, though, sits at 8.50% combined, which adds up on everyday purchases like groceries, fuel, and household goods. That split shapes the budget: housing costs stay predictable and contained, while daily spending carries more of the load. Families weighing where to settle should factor both sides into their monthly math.
