I am wondering if there are some areas in California where property taxes might be lower than where I am living now. Where can I find additional information regarding the different property tax rates?
Under Proposition 13, the general property tax rate throughout California is limited to one percent of the property’s assessed value. However, due to direct levies and special assessments in some areas, the overall property tax rate may be slightly higher. Average county-wide rates can be found in the Board of Equalization’s Annual Report in the Statistical Appendix Tables, Table 14, General Property Tax Levies as Compiled for Computation of the Average Tax Rate. Annual Reports may be accessed at: http://www.boe.ca.gov/annual/annualrpts.htm. Information on the tax rate for a specific area within a county is available through the county auditor of that county.
