ZIP Code 76253

In ZIP code 76253, near Gainesville, homes carry a median value of $176,300, and the county's 1.19% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $2,098 a year for a house at that price. With median household income at $69,952, that tax bill absorbs about 3% of annual earnings, while per-capita income sits lower at $21,689, meaning single earners feel the pinch more sharply than two-income households. A 6.25% combined sales tax applies to purchases. Buyers weighing a move here should note that housing costs stay within reach of the area's median earnings, though the gap between household and individual income shapes how heavy the yearly tax load actually feels.
