Bay City, TX — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a median household income of $31,761 and per-capita income of $28,719, ZIP code 77483 sits in working-class territory rather than among Bay City's more comfortable earners. That income level shapes how the area's taxes land. The county-level property tax rate of 1.35% applies to whatever home value an owner carries, so the bite depends heavily on assessment. A combined sales tax rate of 6.25% adds to everyday costs on purchases. Together, these rates mean households here devote a meaningful share of earnings to taxes even though the percentages themselves aren't unusually steep.
