ZIP Code 81425

In ZIP code 81425, near Montrose, homes carry a median value of $343,400 while households earn a median of $73,682, and per-capita income sits at $35,488. The county's 0.36% effective property tax rate applies to that home value, yielding an annual bill well below what many Colorado homeowners face. Sales tax combines to 2.90%. Because the tax rate stays low against a fairly high median home value, the yearly property tax load takes a smaller share of household earnings than it would in places where rates run higher, easing the cost of owning a home here.
