ZIP Code 85701

In ZIP code 85701, within Tucson, homes carry a median value of $492,100, yet the county's 0.71% effective property tax rate translates to roughly $3,494 annually. That levy stands against a median household income of $51,794, so property taxes alone claim close to seven percent of a typical household's yearly earnings—a substantial share. Per-capita income sits at $50,880. Add the 8.70% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the overall cost of living presses harder on local paychecks than the headline tax rate alone might imply.
