ZIP Code 77555

Homes in the 77555 ZIP code, which falls in Galveston, carry a county-level property tax rate of 1.41%. That rate sits above what many parts of Texas charge, so owners here hand over a meaningful share of their property's value each year. The combined sales tax rate of 6.25% applies to purchases made in the area. Together, these two figures point to a working-class to middle-income community where housing costs and everyday spending both carry a real tax component. Galveston's coastal location shapes the local economy, and the tax structure reflects the services and infrastructure that support it.
