ZIP Code 96753

In ZIP code 96753, near Haiku, homes carry a median value of $1,033,600, yet the county's effective property tax rate sits at just 0.16%. That combination yields an annual tax bill far below what the steep sticker price might imply. Households here earn a median of $88,408, with per-capita income at $51,078, so buying at that price point would strain most budgets even though the tax itself stays contained. A 4.50% combined sales tax applies to everyday purchases. The real squeeze comes from the gap between local earnings and million-dollar housing, not from the property levy.
