Chino Property Tax Rate

The typical property-tax rate in Chino is about 1.11% of assessed value — the 1% Proposition 13 base plus voter-approved debt. That's near the average across these California cities (~1.14%). Mello-Roos and fixed direct assessments, where a parcel has them, are billed on top.

The median single-family home in Chino is assessed at about $451,740 for existing owners (county parcel roll, computed October 2026; 14,474 single-family parcels), which works out to roughly $5,014 a year at 1.11%. Under Proposition 13 your assessed value is generally what you paid when you bought, rising no more than 2% a year — estimate your own bill with the calculator above.

Property tax in Chino runs about 1.11% of the price you pay, so a buyer's bill scales with the home — roughly $3,330 a year on a $300,000 home and about $6,660 on a $600,000 home. Existing owners are taxed on their lower Proposition 13 value instead — the median Chino single-family home is assessed near $451,740, for about $5,014 a year.

Chino spans more than one Tax Rate Area (it has 73). The 1% base is the same everywhere, but each area adds its own voter-approved school, city, and special-district bonds, so two homes in Chino can pay slightly different total rates. The figure here is the typical rate across Chino's parcels.

The 1.11% shown here is from San Bernardino County's 2025-26 tax-rate book — the rate on the bills that came due in December 2025 and April 2026. The bills mailed in October 2026 are for fiscal year 2026-27: the 1% Proposition 13 base never changes, and the voter-approved debt rates on top of it are recalculated by the county each year, after the roll closes on July 1 and before the Board of Supervisors adopts the rates by October 3 (Gov. Code §29100), as bonds are paid down or sold, so the total usually moves by a few hundredths of a percent, not whole points. What does change for most owners is the assessed value: the Board of Equalization set the 2026-27 inflation factor at 2%, so a Chino home that did not sell or add construction is assessed 2% higher than last year and its bill rises about 2% if the rate holds. A home bought or built in the past year is taxed on its new base-year value instead, and usually gets a supplemental bill.

Yes, in parts of the city: Chino has 31 Community Facilities Districts and improvement areas (16 districts on record with the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission, several levying by improvement area), formed by City of Chino (31). Where a per-home figure is available (25 of 26 residential districts), the annual special tax runs from about $399 to $10,233 for a single-family home in 2025-26, billed on top of the 1.11% ad-valorem rate. A home outside every district boundary pays no Mello-Roos; the district table on this page lists each one, and the charge on a specific parcel is on its tax bill.

San Bernardino County bills Chino property taxes in two installments: the first is due November 1 (delinquent after December 10) and the second February 1 (delinquent after April 10), with a 10% penalty after each date. These deadlines are set by California state law and are the same countywide. Bills are issued and paid through the San Bernardino County Treasurer-Tax Collector, not the city of Chino.
