Placer Property Tax Rate by ZIP Code

Across Placer County the ad-valorem property tax rate for most ZIPs runs about 1.0212% to 1.0873% of assessed value, with a median near 1.0402% — the 1% Proposition 13 base plus each area's voter-approved debt. Placer's total rates are relatively low; it's highest in ZIP 95626 (Unincorporated Placer) at 1.1468% and lowest in 95722 (Unincorporated Placer) at 1.0075%.

The 1% Proposition 13 base is the same everywhere, but each Tax Rate Area adds its own voter-approved bond debt — school districts, the Sierra Joint Community College District, and city, water, or special-district 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.

No. These are ad-valorem rates only (the 1% base plus voter-approved bond debt). Roseville and Lincoln have heavy Community Facilities District / Mello-Roos activity, but those special taxes and fixed direct assessments are billed separately — often several hundred to a few thousand dollars a year on top of the rate shown. If a Roseville or Lincoln bill looks higher than the rate here implies, the difference is usually CFD/direct charges, not missing ad-valorem levies.

No — for Placer it's the median assessed value across all property types in the ZIP. Placer County's free parcel data doesn't publish the Assessor use code, so we can't separate single-family homes from condos or income properties the way we do in other counties. The figure is a typical parcel (land + improvements, gross of exemptions), useful as a rough anchor rather than a single-family-specific value.
