ZIP code 77539, near Galveston, sits in middle-income territory, with a median household income of $89,111 and per-capita income of $37,141. Homes here carry a median value of $264,800, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.41% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add the 8.25% combined sales tax, and everyday purchases cost more than in many parts of the state. Households earning around the median can absorb these taxes, though the property tax in particular takes a noticeable bite out of annual budgets.
