Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Los Angeles County property tax rate?
It is the 1% Proposition 13 base levy plus each area's voter-approved debt, for a typical total near 1.1874% of assessed value (roughly 1.1173%–1.2691% across areas). Mello-Roos and fixed direct assessments are extra.
How is a Los Angeles County property tax bill calculated?
Assessed value × your area's rate. Under Proposition 13 the assessed value is your purchase price growing no more than 2% a year, so long-time owners usually pay much less than recent buyers of similar homes.
When are Los Angeles County property taxes due?
First installment due November 1 (delinquent after December 10); second due February 1 (delinquent after April 10). These deadlines are set by California state law (Revenue & Taxation Code §§ 2605–2701) and are the same statewide; if a date falls on a weekend or holiday it moves to the next business day. Confirm the exact dates on your own tax bill and your county tax collector's website.
These deadlines are set by California state law (Revenue & Taxation Code §§ 2605, 2606, 2617 and 2701) and are the same in every county — this is general education, not a county-by-county check. If a delinquency date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, it moves to the next business day. Always confirm the exact dates and amounts on your own tax bill and your county tax collector's website.
