ZIP Code 96741

In Anahola (ZIP 96741), homes carry a median value of $953,200, yet the county-level effective property tax rate is just 0.21%, the lowest kind of rate you'll find. That works out to roughly $2,000 a year in property taxes — a strikingly low carrying cost given the price of the home. Households here earn a median of $110,873, with per-capita income at $55,985, so the tax bill absorbs only a sliver of annual earnings, and the 4.50% combined sales tax keeps everyday purchases cheap too. High prices, low taxes, solid incomes: that's the unusual mix defining this Kauai community.
