Big Spring, TX — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 79721, which takes in Big Spring, per-capita income stands at $6,281, so each percentage point of property tax weighs heavily against what people bring in. The county's 0.95% effective rate applies to whatever a home is worth, meaning the annual bill scales directly with value rather than with earnings. A higher-priced house pulls more tax out of a paycheck that is already stretched. Sales tax adds 6.25% to purchases on top of that. Together these costs shape how far a given income stretches toward owning a home here.
