ZIP Code 95480

For a household in ZIP code 95480, near Santa Rosa, the tax picture combines a 0.70% county-level property tax rate with a 9.25% sales tax. Property taxes at that rate stay below California's statewide norm, which eases the annual cost of owning a home here. The sales tax, by contrast, runs on the higher side, so everyday purchases take a bigger bite. Together, the two shape how far a paycheck stretches: housing carries a lighter ongoing tax load, while spending at local stores costs more. A household weighing where to settle should factor both into its monthly math.
