ZIP Code 81225

In ZIP code 81225, near Crested Butte, homes carry a median value of $555,300, while the county-level effective property tax rate sits at just 0.29%. That combination yields an annual tax bill far below what the steep home prices might imply. Households here report a median income of $85,357, with per-capita income at $64,368, so the tax on a median-valued home absorbs a slim share of yearly earnings. A 2.90% combined sales tax applies to purchases. Even so, the gap between what homes cost and what residents earn shapes how far local incomes stretch.
