ZIP Code 93103

ZIP code 93103, in Santa Barbara, ranks among the more affluent areas, with a median household income of $122,159 and per-capita income of $60,754. Home values run high: the median property sits at $1,663,600. Even so, the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.65% keeps annual bills lower than many California homeowners might expect on a home at that price. Sales tax comes to 7.75% on purchases. The combination means buying into this market demands substantial wealth, yet the ongoing tax load on property stays comparatively gentle against the steep entry cost.
