Mello-Roos districts in Antelope
Antelope has 1 Community Facilities District on record, formed by Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District. A Mello-Roos special tax is a flat charge set by each district's Rate and Method of Apportionment, not a percentage of value, and it applies only to parcels inside the district boundary — two homes on the same street can differ, and districts overlap, so one home can pay two or three of them at once. A row that says “not published here” means the agency publishes no typical figure: the district's Rate and Method sets per-parcel amounts.
| District | Formed | Funds | Annual tax per home (published rate) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District CFD No. 1 · Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District | — | School facilities (Mello-Roos) | not published here; county direct-levy listing |
Source: each agency's CFD annual report or Rate and Method of Apportionment, cross-referenced to the Sacramento County Auditor-Controller 2025-26 direct-levy listing. Annual tax per home is the agency's currently published rate for a single-family unit (“—” = no published rate); your parcel's charge is the line item on its bill. To see whether a specific parcel is inside a district, use the Antelope Mello-Roos lookup; every district in the county is listed on Sacramento County Mello-Roos districts.

What Antelope homes are assessed at, and when
The 12,780 single-family homes on Antelope’s 2025 roll are assessed from about $270,000 (lower quarter) to $485,000 (upper quarter), with a median of $369,000. Because Proposition 13 sets the assessment when a home changes hands, the year a home was bought matters more than what it would sell for today: at Antelope’s median 1.12% rate, a home whose base year — the year its Proposition 13 assessment was last set, usually when it last changed hands — is before 1990 pays about $2,047 a year and one reassessed in 2020 – 2025 about $5,780.

| Under $250,000 | 20% | $211,000 | $2,373 |
| $250,000 – $500,000 | 58% | $365,000 | $4,105 |

Sacramento County Assessor 2025 roll, single-family parcels by situs city; typical bill = median assessed value in the group × Antelope’s median ad-valorem rate (1.1246%, shown rounded as 1.12% above), before Mello-Roos and direct assessments. Groups with fewer than 50 parcels are not shown. Base year is the land base year the Assessor carries; it resets on a change of ownership or new construction (reassessment rules). Market values are higher than these assessed values for most long-held homes.
Property tax in Antelope, in context
Antelope’s roughly 13,600 residential parcels (of 14,004 parcels of all kinds on the roll) are about 94% single-family homes, 4% condominiums and 2% small income properties (2–4 units). A typical single-family home is assessed at about $369,000 — an existing owner's Proposition 13 base-year value, not today's market price — for a typical annual tax near $4,150. About 15% of single-family homes still carry a Proposition 13 base set before 2000 (a median base year near 2015), so long-time owners are assessed well below current prices.
Antelope spans several Tax Rate Areas, so the ad-valorem rate ranges from about 1.0698% to 1.1246% across most parcels, depending on which voter-approved bonds apply to a parcel, all on top of the 1% Proposition 13 base. That figure is ad-valorem only: Mello-Roos (CFD) special taxes and fixed direct assessments, where a parcel is in a district that levies them, are billed separately — check your parcel's bill for line items beyond the base rate.
