No. The rate here is ad-valorem only (the 1% base plus voter-approved debt). Mello-Roos / Community Facilities District special taxes — common in Elk Grove, North Natomas, Rancho Cordova, and parts of Folsom — and other fixed direct assessments are billed separately and can add hundreds to a few thousand dollars a year. Check your parcel's bill.

For an existing owner, we compound your purchase price by the official Proposition 13 inflation factors to estimate today's assessed value, then apply your area's typical ad-valorem rate. For a buyer, the purchase price becomes the new assessed value. The result is shown as a range because the rate varies across an area's Tax Rate Areas.

The first installment is due November 1 and delinquent after December 10; the second is due February 1 and delinquent after April 10. A 10% penalty applies after each delinquency date. 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.
