ZIP Code 72045

In ZIP code 72045, near Bald Knob, homes carry a median value of $140,200 while the county's effective property tax rate sits at 0.46%. That combination yields a yearly property tax bill well below what many parts of Arkansas see, even as median household income reaches $60,602 and per-capita income hits $43,455. Sales taxes, combined at 8.25%, apply to purchases rather than ownership, so housing costs stay tied mainly to the mortgage and that lower rate. The gap between what residents earn and what their homes are taxed at leaves breathing room in monthly budgets.
