Property tax in Culver City, in context
On the 2025 Assessor roll, Culver City's taxable property was assessed at about $18.3 billion in total — up 3.9% from the prior year. Its residential roll of roughly 11,800 parcels is about 50% single-family homes, 38% condominiums and 13% small income properties (2–4 units). A typical single-family home is assessed at about $687,000 — an existing owner's Proposition 13 base-year value, not today's market price — for a typical annual tax near $7,824. The typical single-family home dates to around 1950 and spans about 1,550 sq ft, and about 44% of them still carry a Proposition 13 base set before 2000 (a median base year near 2002) — a big reason long-time owners are assessed well below current prices.
Across Culver City's Tax Rate Areas the ad-valorem rate is uniform at about 1.1388% — the same 1% Proposition 13 base plus voter-approved school and municipal debt applies throughout. That figure is ad-valorem only: Mello-Roos (CFD) special taxes and fixed direct assessments — where a parcel sits in a district that levies them — are billed separately and vary parcel by parcel. Newer, master-planned developments are the most likely to carry Mello-Roos, so check your own bill for line items beyond the base rate.
