Challis, ID — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 83235, which centers on Challis, property owners pay an effective county-level tax rate of 0.29%, while purchases carry a combined sales tax of 6.00%. That property rate sits well below what many parts of the country collect, so a household here keeps more of what it earns after the annual tax bill is settled. The sales tax, by contrast, is closer to the middle of the range seen nationwide, adding a few cents to everyday purchases. Together the two point to a working- and middle-income area where housing costs stay contained and daily commerce carries a steady, unremarkable share of the load.
