Frequently Asked Questions
What is the property tax rate in Inyo County by ZIP code?
Across Inyo County the ad-valorem property tax rate for most ZIPs runs about 1% to 1.1295% of assessed value (the middle 80% of ZIPs), with a median near 1.0925% — the 1% Proposition 13 base plus each area's voter-approved debt. It varies by ZIP because voter-approved school, city, and special-district bonds differ from area to area.
Why does the property tax rate differ by ZIP code?
The 1% Proposition 13 base is the same everywhere, but each Tax Rate Area adds its own voter-approved bond debt (school districts, community colleges, water and fire districts, and city bonds). ZIP codes in areas with more approved bonds have higher total rates. A single ZIP can span more than one Tax Rate Area, so the figure shown is a typical rate for that ZIP, not your parcel's exact rate.
Are Mello-Roos and special assessments included in these rates?
No. These are ad-valorem rates only (the 1% base plus voter-approved debt). Mello-Roos / Community Facilities District special taxes, parcel taxes, and fixed direct assessments are billed separately and can add hundreds to a few thousand dollars a year.
Why is there no typical home value shown?
Inyo County's public parcel extract publishes the Tax Rate Area for each parcel but not its assessed value, so we show the ad-valorem rate and let you enter your own value. Every rate figure is exact from the Auditor-Controller's schedule.
