ZIP Code 79073

Homes in the 79073 ZIP code, which covers Plainview, carry an effective county property tax rate of 1.31%. That rate applies against whatever a house is worth, so the actual bill climbs as values rise, and it lands hardest on owners whose earnings haven't kept pace with local prices. Sales taxes add another layer: purchases in this area are taxed at 8.25%, which trims spending power regardless of whether someone owns or rents. Together, the property levy and the sales rate shape what households here can set aside, and how far a given income stretches toward owning a home in Plainview.
