ZIP Code 77093

In ZIP code 77093, on Houston's north side, homes carry a median value of $142,800, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.62% works out to roughly $2,313 a year in taxes on such a home. With median household income at $46,766 and per-capita income at $18,812, that tax bill absorbs a noticeable share of earnings, which shapes how far paychecks stretch alongside the 8.25% combined sales tax. Lower home values here do ease the path to ownership compared with pricier parts of the metro, but the rate still weighs on households whose incomes trail the region's.
