Denver, CO — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 80293, part of Denver, the county-level effective property tax rate sits at 0.45%. That rate applies to assessed home value, so the actual bill scales with what a house is worth rather than with income. A higher-priced home carries a proportionally larger tax bill even though the percentage stays fixed. Combined with a 2.90% sales tax rate, ownership costs here reflect both a recurring property levy and everyday purchase taxes. Whether that fits a household depends on earnings relative to home prices in the area, since the tax itself doesn't adjust for what a resident makes.
