What Elverta homes are assessed at, and when
The 1,601 single-family homes on Elverta’s 2025 roll are assessed from about $171,000 (lower quarter) to $449,000 (upper quarter), with a median of $301,000. 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 Elverta’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 $1,192 a year and one reassessed in 2020 – 2025 about $5,432.

Sacramento County Assessor 2025 roll, single-family parcels by situs city; typical bill = median assessed value in the group × Elverta’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 Elverta, in context
Elverta’s roughly 1,600 residential parcels (of 1,908 parcels of all kinds on the roll) are about 100% single-family homes. A typical single-family home is assessed at about $301,000 — an existing owner's Proposition 13 base-year value, not today's market price — for a typical annual tax near $3,385. About 27% of single-family homes still carry a Proposition 13 base set before 2000 (a median base year near 2013), so long-time owners are assessed well below current prices.
Elverta spans several Tax Rate Areas, so the ad-valorem rate ranges from about 1.1246% to 1.1601% 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.
