In Bieber (ZIP 96009), homes are valued at a median of $155,600, and the county's 0.72% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $1,120 a year on such a home. With per-capita income at $55,165, that annual tax bill equals about two percent of a single resident's earnings, a share many households can absorb without straining. Sales taxes run 8.25% on purchases. The combination of lower home values and a below-average rate keeps ownership costs here tied closely to income, though the sales tax adds to everyday expenses.
