ZIP Code 81612

Households in ZIP code 81612, which covers Aspen, face a county-level property tax rate of 0.36% and a combined sales tax rate of 2.90%. Those two figures shape how far a paycheck stretches alongside housing costs, which tend to run high in this mountain town. Because the property tax rate stays under half a percent, owners owe comparatively less on each dollar of assessed value than in many other places, though a steep purchase price still means a sizable annual bill. The 2.90% sales tax adds a bit to everyday purchases, from groceries to gear, so day-to-day spending carries a slight premium.
