Frequently Asked Questions
What is the property tax rate in Orange County by ZIP code?
Across Orange County the ad-valorem property tax rate for most ZIPs runs about 1.0084% to 1.1363% of assessed value (the middle 80% of ZIPs), with a median near 1.0593% — the 1% Proposition 13 base plus each area's voter-approved debt. It varies by ZIP because voter-approved school, college, and city 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, the Metropolitan Water District, 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.
How much is the property tax on my Orange County home?
Multiply your assessed value by your ZIP's rate — county-wide the median is about 1.0593%, so an $800,000 assessed value is roughly $8,474 a year. Enter your ZIP and value in the calculator above for your area's rate. Your assessed value under Proposition 13 is close to your purchase price (plus up to 2% a year), not the current market value.
Are the typical values single-family only?
The headline typical value and bill are for single-family homes. Where there's enough data, the calculator also shows condos and 2–4 unit residential-income properties for your ZIP, using each type's median assessed value from the Orange Assessor use code — an existing-owner Proposition 13 figure, not a buyer's price.
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 — common in Irvine and the newer south-county communities — plus parcel taxes and fixed direct assessments are billed separately and can add hundreds to a few thousand dollars a year.

Rates are ad-valorem only (excluding Mello-Roos, special/land-related bonds, and fixed direct assessments) and are typical for the ZIP, not your parcel's exact Tax Rate Area. Typical values are existing-owner Proposition 13 figures, not a buyer's price, classified by the Orange Assessor use code.
