ZIP Code 95333

In ZIP code 95333, near Merced, homes carry a median value of $340,200, and the county's effective property tax rate of 0.67% yields an annual bill of roughly $2,279 for a home at that price. With median household income at $62,813, that tax equals about 3.6% of yearly earnings — a real cost, though not an overwhelming one.
