California Property Tax Explained (Prop 13)
1. Understanding Proposition 13
California property taxes are limited by Proposition 13, which sets the base tax rate at 1% of the assessed value.
Average Effective Tax Rates by County
| County | Avg. Effective Rate |
|---|---|
| Los Angeles | 1.25% |
| Orange County | 1.05% |
| Santa Clara | 1.20% |
| San Diego | 1.21% |
*Rates include base tax plus voter-approved local debt/bonds.
2. Why is my rate higher than 1%?
Actual bills usually range between 1.1% to 1.25% because of local voter-approved bonds and special assessments like Mello-Roos.
