ZIP Code 79002

Households in ZIP code 79002, which takes in Pampa, keep a 6.25% sales tax on everyday purchases, a rate that shapes how far each paycheck stretches at local stores. Property taxes run at 1.37% of assessed value at the county level, so a home's yearly bill scales directly with what it's worth. Together these two levies draw on earnings in different ways: sales tax takes a slice with each transaction, while the property tax arrives as one annual obligation that owners need to plan around. How comfortably a household absorbs both depends largely on its income and the value of its home.
